[Athen] Question on JAVA and C++

[Maria Bohn]

I have a student who is taking computer programming courses – he’s had no problems with the basic Java but is considering taking higher level JAVA or C++ next semester. His professor said they are more labor intensive – so we are looking to see if there is any way to make this doable for him – he knows the material and can run it thru in his head but he has severe inability to perform motor tasks and constant muscle spasms (he is in a wheelchair as well) – the student communicates via a Dynnavox with eye gaze technology. Does anyone have any suggestions? Im thinking something where he can preprogram and just hit a shortcut key when he needs to use that string of code … but I d not know nearly enough about JAVA to know if anything exists like this ..?

Thank You
