Hi Jane,

Check this site out Lilly Walters' website: http://www.aboutonehandtyping.com/

There is masses if info, resources and reviews of different approaches but the website owner is a strong advocate of using, wherever possible, a standard keyboard with a one-handed technique.

Best wishes,

Colleagues, as I'm a bit out of date with recent AT developments these days, iId really appreciate your help with a query I have received from a paediatric OT working in a school with 2 children who have malformations of an upper limb- he would like to reccommend that they use a one-handed-keyboard and has the go ahead to buy one, but before he does would like to know what is the "best" one to get.

Any advice much appreciated.

regards

Jane Seale
