Special Needs Hardware I would like to have in my classroom

1.  SmartNav (head-tracking system)
A mouse alternative that allows people with good head control to completely control their computer.  A tiny reflective dot is stuck to the forehead, eyeglass frame, tip of nose.  The transmitter/receiver pictured above, sends infrared beams out, and senses reflections from the dot.  The SmartNav software (included) 'maps' head motion to cursor motion.
HW-9-USB for all Windows (SmartNav AT) - $299
 

2.  KeyRead (Junior ScreenReader)
A simple, but powerful, screenreader, that is tailored for blind persons that may be new to using a computer, or
need a simpler, less expensive alternative to more costly (and comprehensive) programs available.  Works almost
entirely by the standard keyboard navigation controls, the arrow keys!
Also...
Echoes each keystroke and word
Selective reading of screen (word processors, web pages, email, Desktop, etc.) by word, line, sentence, paragraph, or
entire page
Selective reading of menus
Reading of dialog boxes and buttons
SW-22R - Registration Code for KeyRead for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 - $199

cognitive disabilities. All keys are easy to see:  1-inch square! 4 times normal size.  Full tactile feedback, just like regular keys.
