I just noticed the following item in "Online Today", the monthly magazine of Compuserve: Apple "Pickings" for the Disabled: A packet of information on Apple computer resources for the handicapped is available from Access Unlimited Speech Enterprises, a charitable, non-profit, special technology corporation. The package includes titles, descriptions and prices of talking and larger print Apple software, accessories, peripherals and special hardware, such as alternatives to the standard keyboard. The products described in the packet are being used by the blind, low-visioned, multiple-handicapped, mute, reading- or learning-disabled, mentally retarded and hearing impaired. Some are designed for users with special needs, while others are general-market products that are recommended additions to the Apple computer system used by a handicapped child or adult. When requesting a free information packet, include your name, organization, address and telephone number, the nature of the disability being addressed, computer of interest, and age or developmental level. Information tailored to your needs will be sent. Mention that you heard of the packet in "Online Today." To order, call 800/531-5314 (nationwide) or 800/292-5619 (in Texas). The organization also is selling a 10-minute VHS videotape of severely handicapped children and young adults using Apple computers to demonstrate the versatility of the machines. The tape costs $45 plus $3.50 shipping and handling. To order, call 713/461-0006. For information, contact Access Unlimited Speech Enterprises, 99039 Katy Freeway, Suite 414, Houston TX 77024. Information on computers and the handicapped is available in the Disabilities Forum [on Compuserve] (GO DISABILITIES).
