THE STATIONARY TRACKBALL:
1. Trackballs are stationary fixed units and require less table or desk top space to chase /or move the mouse.
2. Trackballs come in a variety of sizes ... from a [finger size] marble, to a [palm size] baseball.
3. Larger trackballs have large buttoms to "poke" [rather than click] and requires less motor coordination.
4. Some Trackballs can be tension adjusted to keep them from "free wheeling" or getting away.
5. If you are running Windows on a PC, for easy installation, be sure to get a trackball that is fully Microsoft Mouse compatible.
With luck and compatibility, you will be able to un -plug your old mouse and plug -in your new trackball.

MOUSE TRAINING:
Games for impaired mice and their users.
1. The best mouse training programs are just point -and- click games.
Play the games and train your eye -motor- skills.
2. Games are included in your Windows Software.
3. Games are available on the internet from kids to teens and adults.

The next time you are caught playing games at work or school ... just say you are practicing to improve your mouse skills.
MOUSE TRACKING AND ATTENTION:
Mouse Cursor Enhancement.

Large cursors are easier to follow and make better visual targets.

Animation can be "attention getting", as well as distracting.
