Question

My son is five years old and has cerebral palsy. He uses a "SwitchClick" to operate programs on our computer. I've read that there is a way to use Microsoft PowerPoint to make a "talking book". Do you know anything about this?


Answer

First, for readers who might not know, Switch Click is a $99.00 device from Tash Inc. that you simply plug in to your computer (USB port) and press to produce a left mouse click. It is 4.5 inches in diameter and has a jack to plug in a different switch should a person need it. See it at http://www.tashinc.com/catalog/ca_switch_click.html.
