Tools for assistive technology don't have to come expensive. Microsoft has created programs that are found on any Microsoft Vista PC that allow students to have free access to many assistive technology tools.
One tool that could come in hand is the "On-Screen Keyboard". This would be used for someone who wouldn't be able to type on a keyboard, rather they could type using their mouse.
The On-Screen Keyboard can type for anything, and stays up so you can see it all in whichever screen you choose. You can fix many options on the screen keyboard, such as which kind of keyboard, how many keys are shown, and the layout.
-- To go about finding this tool go to your "Control Panel" in the "Start" Menu.
-- Click on "Ease of Access" which will take you to the next screen.
-- Click on "Ease of Access Center" and that will take you to the next screen.
-- Finally you will see it in big letters, and click on the link that says, "Start On-Screen Keyboard"
Below are pictures following the instructions above.
