I received the following via netmail.  Replies should be sent via
netmail to 1:115/790.  The message is originally from Paul Salyers,

Steve,

The following is from one of my users.  I can't help him out with anything, and I'm not sure you can either.  But do you know someone who might be able to help?

Thanks.

-Pat

I would recommend you try to make contact with both of the following
organizations.  Easter Seals runs a network of about 13 centers around
the country which have low-cost/public-domain programs, and computer
hardware with adaptive aids to try them on.  The Alliance for Technology
Access is an organization that used to be part of Apple Computer, that
oversees an autonomous network of about 40 centers around the country
which help provide computer-technology-learning solutions to persons
with disabilities (but esp. children).
