Hi Joy- I had a client who used it with a headmouse- She was
quadriplegic, and used the headmouse to dial numbers (and access
pre-programmed
numbers). It can also be helpful for someone who has limited range of
motion—I had a client who could use a laptop, and could dial a phone.
However, if her laptop was in front of her, she didn’t have the range
of
motion to reach the phone… In her case, she used the touchpad on the
laptop to dial Skype. Margaret Cotts P.S. Amy Roman, who is on this listserv, has created an
(awesome!)
adult core word user interface for the DynaVox. It’s especially
geared
for people with ALS. She has created some really nice onscreen
keyboards
which are especially designed to interact with Skype.

Behalf Of Joy Meachum We would like to provide information on Skype and how it can be
a
good AT option. Does anyone already have information on this before I
create
one for our chapter? I know Margaret Cotts presented on it at the national
conference, and I’m looking for more specific info.
