Index Number: 9597

I have been asked to find a computer input device for a person who
uses a forehead stick to paint with.  He wants to use a computer for
word processing but his MS has left him with only voice and limited 
head motion.  

Is there any standard hardware for this person?  Please respond by
using any address in the following block.
