I know they have a library of materials and references. When you do call, I would suggest you use current terminology: "cerebral palsied persons" are now known as "persons with cerebral palsy."

Mike, I didn't see your original post, so don't know what resources
have been investigated already. I do know that the local Easter Seals
group would be a place to try. They would probably want the computer
to be more than a means of entering the echos, however. If it
permitted greater ability to communicate with those around him/her, or
enhanced the opportunity to get a job/telecommute, they would be much
more receptive. In any case, they may already have some contacts with
sources of used machines that could still fill the requirements.
Easter Seals often works with United Cerebral Palsey to handle needs
outside UCP's charter (which is research).
