 Hi,
OLPC has a wide penetration amongst the primary school kids in developing
nations with more than a million laptops already in the open and target of
many more in several nations. Amongst this, I
wanted to know the figure for the times accessibility problems being faced
with ‘special kids’ not able to take the benefit of the XO laptops.
Gathering these statistics would be helpful as a point for requirement
analysis point for my softare applications so that I could contribute a
utility package for the laptops.

Regards
Harpreet Singh Sareen

Hi there,

Plan Ceibal in Uruguay has done a lot / is doing a lot of work when it
comes to making the XO and Sugar more accessible. Their efforts range
from special input devices to virtual keyboards, changes of the fonts, etc.

For more details I'd suggest you get in touch with Andrea Mangiatordi
(andrea.mangiatordi at gmail.com), an Italian researcher who has been
working in this area in Uruguay for quite some time.

Hope that helps,
Christoph
