93474 2002-10-27 06:57:00 Looking for some software/games/tuors for disabled people. Something that will make a sound or pop up a message when the mouse is clicked on an item e.g. a pop sound when a mouse clicks on a balloon and pops it. Must run on DOS and a 386.
Thanks
Rob.

I have been researching this too - found a good switch operated programme at www.iqtoys.co.nz called BabyWow - not at all babyish (except for the title and first screen) also you can make something similar with powerpoint if you just want a sound to play as well as display a picture.
I have adapted the mouse so it takes a switch instead of operating the left mouse click.
Also come across a wee programme that turns off the right click while the disabled user is operating the mouse - sure helps if they can't access the pop up menus.
Happy to contact you direct if you need further ideas.

So far I have found 4 shareware programs and will look for a few more, the trouble I have is finding stuff simple enough!!
