A discussion of assistive technology follows, including descriptions of commercially available input and output devices, computer interfaces, and other computer-related devices. Tips on evaluating software are then presented, including freeware and shareware. Principles of computer and disk care and maintenance are provided, as are basic troubleshooting techniques.
