pg,
If the disabled people who will be using this computer lab have clear
speech, consider adding speech recognition software to some or all of your
computers. This is particularly easy to do if you are using Windows Vista,
as the operating system has a fairly comprehensive Microsoft compatible
speech recognition program built right in to it. Look in the ease of
access
section of the control panel. It provides multiple ways to position the
mouse including both "Show Numbers", which assigns a number to each icon
on
the desktop or web page, and also a traditional Mouse grid option.
