[comp.sys.ibm.pc] computers for handicapped, visually impaired

nelson_p@apollo.HP.COM (Peter Nelson) (04/11/90)

  I apologize if this is a duplicate.  I posted something like
  this yesterday but this morning I noticed that it wasn't
  in any of our spool files.... 



  I want to find out more about the use of computers by
  people who have a significant loss of motor function,
  or who are visually impaired, or completely blind.

  What companies make products for these situations?

  Are there any good books on the subject?

  What are some current issues?  For instance, with all the 
  GUI's (graphical user interfaces) popping up these days, 
  how is that dealt with by visually impaired people?

  Thank you in advance for any pointers or info.
