Joan,

I don't know what to say about the keyboard.  But, I do know there is a
pointing device that was actually designed for small children that might
help.  It looks a little like a Playschool toy.  It has a big (probably 3"
diameter) ball and large buttons.  It works like a trackball.  If you are
interested in more information I can find out who makes it and get back to
you.  Let me know.

Kyle
