HELP!!! comp accessibility

[frogga]

Hey

I am writing this on behalf of a friend of mine - she has a severe neurological disease (RSD) and lives in the UK - she's 14 and a year ago became a quadraplegic from the RSD - she has no movement at all in her arms/ legs/ trunk/ neck or jaw although she can move her lips, her cheeks and her eyebrows. Although she can talk her voice is very quiet and it causes her alot of pain to talk so she doesn't tend to.

Has anyone got any advice for computer equipment which could help her? she currently has a lip switch but this is very frustrating for her to use... and VERY time consuming!

Any ideas welcomed!

Thanks

Rosie
