Increasingly, Ergonomic keyboards and mice, Sit/Stand Desks and Articulating Keyboard Trays are being used to allow todays modern workforce to avoid repetitive strain injuries (RSI) carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and other conditions related to computer use and enjoy a more comfortable workplace.

Speech recognition tools can generate a new excitement for writing and learning for students and workers who were previously unable to use a keyboard or mouse to produce written work due to problems with physical challenges, learning disabilities or low vision/blindness.

Learning

Adaptive Software allows those with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, aphasia and other literacy concerns to work on a computer with more ease and accuracy.

Innovative literacy software, such as WordQ, Read & Write Gold and Kurzweil are designed to enhance success for individuals with reading challenges and writing difficulties. These software programs were developed with the help of special educators and individuals with learning difficulties.
