Adapted Keyboards


Adapted keyboards are great for people with various disabilities and difficulties. There are keyboards that help students with vision impairments, limited fine motor skills, spastic movements, as well as cognitive disabilities. One example of an adapted keyboard that I found is called IntelliKeys.

IntelliKeys overlays can be customized for students. The overlays can be customized to allow students to access particular websites, ask questions, write sentences, and more! Basically, the keyboard can be customized it meet the individual student's need and meet his/her educational goals and objectives.

Below is a video of a young girl using IntelliKeys to access the curriculum.
