Can't offer personal experience, however, I would suggest you try
getting in touch with the following organization:

alliance for technology access (ata); jacquelyn brand; 1307 solano
ave.; albany, ca 94706-1888

This organization was originally part of Apple Computer, and was known by
a different name at that time.  They have a nationwide association with
technology assistance centers around the country, with an emphasis on
Apple solutions for persons with disabilities, so it's highly likely they
have an answer to this question.
