I have been exploring the world of aids to help people with disabilities use a computer... part1

My task set for the last week was to help one of my trainee's achieve effective use of her computer to contact her family by email around the world.


But my mature trainee never let on to me she could not see the screen properly due to eye sight problems from 

macular degeneration disease & cateracts.


Straight away I set up her magniflier as a shortcut on her desktop now she can continue to improve her mouse skills 
We also discussed whether she could see white on black better than black letters on white.
now I have just spent time identifying which keyboards see my selections on the right.
