What is Assistive Technology? Assistive Technology: Assistive technologies are devices used by people with disabilities to access computers. Some assistive technologies include text-to-speech screen readers, alternative keyboards and mice, head pointing devices, voice recognition software, and screen magnification software. (2005). Glossary. Retrieved January 14, 2006, from BMC remedy service management Website: munity/UserExperience/glossary.htm

Why use Alternative Keyboards? The primary focus is to help kids with learning disabilities and/or with significant physical disabilities. There are alternative keyboards that allow teachers to adapt curriculum to meet the diverse needs of individual students. Mehta, A. Intellikeys. Retrieved January 14, 2006, from Technology Evaluation Web site: s.html

Intellikeys The cost for this product is around $ 395-$435. Please click below to retrieve information about this product: ols/IntelliKeys.html This keyboard comes with seven overlays including the alphabet and numbers, but is really designed for programming individualized overlays. Intellikeys will run any software used with regular keyboards, and will function with a wide variety of computers. Intellikeys can be used with children and those whose disability requires the use of large key areas. Also, the keyboard can be connected to switches. Kids' Keyboards, in general, feature larger keys and bright colors. Alternative Keyboards. Retrieved January 14, 2006, from Web site: ml, elliKeys.html mlhttp://natri.uky.edu ml
