A Parent's Guide to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Many computers have special features for people with physical disabilities.
There's also a world of computers to help people with limited mobility write, learn and communicate. From using the Internet for research, to playing computer games alone or with other children, boys with DMD have an expanse of knowledge at their fingertips. As the child gets older, adaptive software and hardware will prove increasingly helpful. High school and college students can use computers with the help of alternate keyboards, voice-input systems, adapted joysticks, word prediction programs, electronic pointing devices and other adaptations. All of these devices minimize or eliminate necessary keystrokes, making it possible for people with little or no use of their hands and arms to operate a computer.
