This guide is for individuals, families, educators and workplaces shopping for computer-access solutions in Canada.

Make typing easier: adaptive keyboards

If a standard keyboard is difficult to use, consider the key size, spacing, layout and position that would work better for you. Think about whether you type with one hand or two, need clearer key labels, or would benefit from a different keyboard design.

Find a different way to move the pointer

A conventional mouse is not the only option. Explore alternative pointing devices and consider your comfortable range of movement, grip and ability to click. Check the individual product description for connection type, operating-system compatibility and setup requirements.

Explore head and eye tracking

Head- and eye-control technologies offer alternatives to conventional pointer movement. Different systems use different access methods and may require specific cameras, software, positioning or calibration. Review each product's requirements before deciding whether it suits your equipment and abilities.

Improve key targeting: keyguards

A keyguard sits over a compatible keyboard or device to help separate access to individual keys or targets. Consider this route if accurately selecting a key is difficult. Keyguards must match the exact device, layout and model; they are not universally interchangeable.

Consider voice accessibility

If speaking is a comfortable access method, explore voice-accessibility products for supported computer tasks. Features vary, so check whether the product supports dictation, commands or the particular applications you use. Also review operating-system, microphone and language requirements.

Before choosing a product

• Identify the task: typing, clicking, moving the pointer or controlling an application.
• Note your computer's make, operating system and available connections.
• Consider your comfortable movements, working position and typical session length.
• Check compatibility with existing hardware and software.
• Review setup, positioning and assistance requirements.
