My nephew, Dustin, is three and has suffered from cerebral palsy 
since birth. I can't describe all of his medical problems, but 
suffice it to say he has 'very limited' I/O capablilites (e.g., 
some movement in left arm and head, no vocal capabilities). 
He is very bright however. The bottom line here is that I 
want to get up to speed quickly on computer software and 
interfaces designed for use with severely handicapped people 
like Dustin. It is apparent that his only hope to interact with his family 
and society in a meaningful way is through a computer. All suggestions 
will be appreciated. Please mail rather than posting to the net.
Thanks in advance.
