Connections Strategies

ComputerAccess for persons with disabilities For persons with disabilities, computers open up worlds. Through the computer and over the internet, disabilities melt away to reveal the person's true gifts and talents. But for many, accessing a computer through a traditional keyboard, mouse, and screen is a challenge, if not an impossibility. That's why AbleNet has developed a full line of computer access products and alternative input technology to remove those barriers.

What computer functions do you want to control—keyboard, mouse, joystick, cursor, scanning software?
What is the activation method - direct, head movement, muscle contraction, external switches?
Do the products need to be positioned for use?
Do cords limit successful interaction with products?

Common Situations
Situation 1 Read More	I have trouble using a traditional mouse— I just don't have the precise hand control necessary and it is very frustrating. I want to be able to better control the cursor from my wheelchair.
Situation 2 Read More	We have a classroom computer that needs to be accessible for students with typical and lower vision.
Situation 3 Read More	My computer is my workhorse. I need to be as productive as possible during the day, so my accessibility solution needs to work with as many pieces of software as possible with minimal configuration.
