[Trainer-Talk] Resources/strategies for training clients with significant neuropathy

[Greg Aikens]

Hello all,
Can anyone recommend strategies for computer input for a blind client with significant neuropathy in their hands? We typically use rough Velcro placemarkers on a few strategic keys on the keyboard but this client struggled to feel these with his left hand. He could identify these markers with his right hand but still had a difficult time locating and pressing a desired key.

What do dictation options look like? Are there built in features in Windows 10 or is Dragon still the best option? I'm thiking a combination of using the right hand for navigation and dictation for text entry might be the best set up but have never taught a client that way. Any ideas or suggestions where I can read more would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

-Greg
