Carol,
Also, American Foundation for the Blind has a national directory that tells
where some of the agencies that Mick is talking about.  Some of them have
Assistive Technology Departments that specialize in helping people decide
what they need in the way of computer adaptations.  AFB's web address is
www.afb.org and the page that lets a person search for agencies by state,
category, etc. is www.afb.org/services.asp


Good Luck

Patty
