Hello,
I have a child at my school with severe disability and I have been asked to assess and deliver an IT solution to make life easier for the pupil.
The pupil is restricted to a wheel chair and has very restricted movement of her head and arms.
She currently uses a laptop with a very large plugin roller ball but this is not ideal as the wheelchair tray becomes cluttered and difficult for her to work on, she can also only use 1 arm at a time to type due to the restrictions on her mobility making typing more like a full body workout. I am told it can often take up to an hour for her to complete the login process never mind completing any work.
Speech recognition software would not help as she has issues with her speech and finding the time to train the software to work with her would not be practical as she misses more days in school due to her illness than she attends.
I was wondering if anybody out there would have any suggestions for tech resources that I can look into to help this pupil, thank you.
