Part 1, covering communication for individuals with disabilities, includes products designed as aids to both electronic and nonelectronic communication. It includes aids that supplement speech or replace speech, as well as products that help with the process of nonspeech communication. Part 2, covering the area of control, includes special switches plus environmental controls and calling devices. Part 3 lists products which provide disabled people with access to computers, such as keyboard modifications, alternate inputs, input adapters, alternate display systems, braille printers, and speech synthesizers. Part 4 describes special software written specifically for the needs of people with disabilities and professionals who work with them, addressing the areas of administration and management, assessment, education and training, recreation, and personal tools. For each product, information provided includes vendor's name, basic facts, a photograph (if available and relevant), and a short description of the product's functions and capabilities. Several indexes list products by their functions, input and output features, computer, and manufacturer. (JDD) |
