My Head Controls My Computer: Computer Access With Cerebral Palsy

A single-switch scanning communicator was devised to provide computer access for an individual severely affected by cerebral palsy. A keyboard adaptor was provided such that either the keyboard or communicator can provide the total user interface to an Apple II + computer. With a suitable modern and control program, the communicator/personal computer is a terminal that can be connected to a Mainframe computer. This system is used by a Boston University student.
