[laptop-accessibility] Low cost assistive technology

[Andrea Shettle]

Regarding the recent question on low cost assistive technology: I think 
before any of us can advise intelligently, it might help to understand 
who wants to know (what organization they're working for), what context 
they're working in (in a developing country? Which one?) and what they 
plan to do with the information (eg, will it influence budgeting and 
practices in a large scale project in a developing country? Where?

If you're looking for organizationsthat might be able to advise, or more 
mailing lists to join, and if the focus is on developing countries, then 
try browsing the many links from my blog site 
(http://wecando.wordpress.com) at the very bottom of each page.

If this information gathering process is meant to be ambitious with far 
reaching implications for many children in various developing countries, 
and/or the information would be widely disseminated afterwards, then 
Fernando please contact me off the list (at ashettle at patriot.net) so we 
can discuss whether it would make sense for me to post something about 
it at my blog. That could potentially drive a handful of comments in 
your direction.
