  Invented in 1822 by Charles Babbage  Capable of computing several sets of numbers  “Difference Engine”  Since then has evolved in becoming more technologically advanced and accessible to people of all ages, and abilities… First Computer?

  Helpful for those with mobility challenges Low Muscle Control in Hands (such as tremors or spastic movements) Cerebral Palsy Speech/visual impairment Computers/Keyboards

  Track Ball Mouse (minimize movement in hands)  Adaptive Keyboard (suit child’s abilities, connection to consonants/vowels)  Keyboard Guards (provide so that way students do not hit an incorrect key/spill)  Voice Recognition Software (interprets spoken words to text)  Speech Synthesizer  Visual Output (learn based on what they see) How is it helpful?

  Helpful for those with: Low vision Blindness Cerebral Visual Impairment Computers/Keyboards Large Print Keyboard

  Bright coloring  High contrast of colors  Bold, big letters  Easy to read  Braille on keys/braille stickers for keys How is it helpful?
