There are three basic types, the wills, the won'ts, and the can'ts. The
wills accomplish everything, the won'ts oppose everything, and the
can'ts won't try anything.

I have a techie friend who is asking about AT (for a computer) for his
mom who has advanced Parkinson's. I'm not finding much on specific AT
for Parkinson's but lots on the disease itself. So, I'm thinking:
trackball, keyguard for keyboard, or? Anyone else have suggestions?
Parkinson's is not something I've dealt with on a student support level
so I'm appealing to the ATHEN Collective. Thanks in advance for any
advice and suggestions.

 

Regards,

Norma Jean
