As a first step, I would contact IBM's disability resource center
and get copies of all of their resource guides.  These guides explain
how computers are used with people with various handicaps as well
as give lists of equipment and manufacturers/distributors.

        IBM National Support Center for Persons with Disabilities
        P. O. Box 2150
        Atlanta, GA 30055
        (800) 426-2133
        (404) 238-4806

        (800) 284-9482 (TDD)

Good luck
