Touch Window

Access

To aid in pointing, this scratch-resistant device can use either a finger (some disabled students may use their fists or side of hand) or a stylus
For students who have difficulty reaching up to the computer monitor, the TouchWindow can be placed on the lap and used much like a graphics tablet
If a student has difficulty holding the stylus, a grip device can be added

Potential Weaknesses

Activating a small area (such as a specific color in KidPix)
Slight calibration errors (where you point on the touch screen may not accurately correspond to the same location on the screen) - A touch screen monitor ($700) by Microtouch http://www.microtouch.com successfully addresses this problem.
Fatigue associated with holding up one’s hand in the unnatural position for any amount of time
