Examples of Assistive Technology Products
* Trackballs have the ball on top instead of underneath for those who struggle with moving the mouse accurately on a desk. Logitech may be willing to donate some to your site; contact the Canadian office for details.
* List of other alternatives to the traditional mouse. For more options, search at Google for 'alternative, mouse'.
* Download a collection of non-traditional mouse pointers that you can use to help people with low vision better see the mouse pointers on the screen. Once you've downloaded the program, double-click it, then read the README file it creates for more instructions on how to install.
* Screen Magnifier programs assist those who have a visual impairment by 'blowing up' parts of the screen to show larger text/images.
* Screen Reader software is designed to help those with a severe visual impairment, and also those with low literacy.
* Reading software is a little different, as it is designed to help people with visual impairments to read printed material that is input into the computer with a scanner.
