<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">You may find that setting the workspace preferences targets to "large" will be helpful to students with learning disabilities. See this page for more information:

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Even though the page is focused on low-vision, making things larger and easier to click on is often helpful.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Also, another way of making MathType easier to use with a mouse is to customize the symbol palette so that expressions which are commonly used in a particular course are located on the same tab. See this page
for more details:</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">When you say you are "<span>still finding the navigation hard to control</span>" do you mean listening to the expression being read? Other than MathPlayer's demo speech mode, the only way you will get speech navigation
to work in Word is to use NVDA. Here's the documentation on how that works:</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Hope that helps.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Hello,</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">I have always been impressed with the universal design characteristics of MathType especially when used with speech by having the math read by NVDA.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">I would like some advice on optimizing it for use with the mouse for students with LD. After hours of searching I found the MathPlayer applet in the windows control panel with various settings for Learning
Disabilities, Low Vision, and Blind. I played around with those settings but am still finding the navigation hard to control. Also I recall there were settings in MathType for optimizing the verbosity when creating the math for blind or LD.

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.</span></p>
