Chapter 8 question 2
There are different types of alternative keyboards. They each have different characteristics of students which would be most appropriate. One type of alternative keyboard is a mini-keyboard. There are two different types that include QWERTY layout and frequency-of-use keyboard. The student characteristics would be students that have restricted range of motion, can use only one hand, have good targeting skills, are familiar with the QWERTY layout, want a layout similar to typical peers. Another type of keyboard is a customizable on-screen keyboard. The student characteristics are cannot use a keyboard, can control a mouse or mouse emulator, find it easy to locate keys on-screen than on a keyboard, need modifications to provided layout, have cognitive deficits, and find the standard keyboard too confusing or distracting.
