The message:

----------------------------------------------------------------

At our school, we provide special education for young people
with a physical handicap.

Using the Apple Macintosh Plus as a writing-, drawing- and
communication-aid, lessens their dependence on our personal
help.

A big problem is the lack of accessibility - for some pupils -
to the regular computer with standard equipment. Here are many
hard- and software problems to solve!

I would like to know how other people dealt with them. As well
for the needs of pupils with lack of muscular power as for
those with a more spastic motion-pattern.

Please send your reply directy to the above address, or mail them to me.
