Presentation transcript:

Alternative Access When an individual has a motor control and/or a visual disability, alternative input devices may be needed. Emphasize…try to adapt standard methods first…strive for least restrictive environment!!

Direct Selection: Use body or object to touch choice directly (not scanning) Quickest and easiest way! Examples: Touch window Adapted keyboard (Intellikeys, Big Keys, etc.) Trackball Joystick Head pointer

Alternative Keyboards: As the primary input device currently available with computers, there are a variety of alternative solutions available. The IntelliKeys keyboard provides a larger surface area for students who have difficulties with motor control. The Little Fingers keyboard, as it sounds, provides smaller keys for smaller hands BAT One-Handed keyboard provides full keyboard access for students with the use of only one hand. Big Keys: large keys, allows for easier access

Overlays: A variety of keyboard overlays are available for a variety of special needs such as Braille, larger images of keys, and special functions that can be programmed into the computer using special software.

Mouse Alternatives: A range of mouse alternatives are available to make it easier for students who have difficulty with motor control to handle the mouse. Scroll wheels: both a track ball and a mouse Track balls: rolling ball that moves curser Head mouse: tracks a student's head movement to activate and control the computer application program.

Switch Access: Individuals with severe motor disabilities cannot who cannot operate any type of adapted keyboard or mouse must rely on switch access. Must be used in conjunction with a software scanning program and switch interface. Switches come in all shapes and sizes and are designed for multiple access points on the body, including hand, foot, head, eyebrow, and mouth.
