Caption from metadata for 535-2596-1: "Joel Macht, a researcher and instructor at the Neil Squire Foundation, trains injured and disabled computer users to use adaptive technology, like the SafeType keyboard. The keyboard is designed to ease the pain of repetitive strain injuries by allowing users to keep their hands and wrists in a more natural upright position. The mirrors attached to the keyboard allow users to check the position of the keys."
Caption from metadata for 535-2596-3: "Mandakini Wineberg is learning how to use voice-recognition technology at the Neil Squire Foundation after being diagnosed with repetitive strain injury."
Caption from metadata for 535-2596-4: "Sunny Doig uses his computer to express himself by writing stories and diary entries despite being blind and a quadriplegic. He writes by tapping out morse code on a touch pad pinned to his shirt."
Caption from metadata for 535-2596-5: "Jova Bosanac's limited mobility because of Noonan's Syndrome means it can take a superhuman effort for him to use his computer."
