Moving this discussion to the accessibility mailing list (support-gangers, please make your suggestions there - no reason for this to be private!)
There are some projects under development for kids with special needs - see Matt Barkau, Lisa Beal, and Tony Anderson's http://wiki.laptop.org/go/FreeIconToSpeech. One thing we wanted to do at ILXO this summer but didn't get to is testing Activities for accessiblity-friendliness - see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_Accessibility for a pretty messy stub. Where is the information request coming from? Maybe they could work with volunteers to review Activities and build that list. -Mel Lisa Caroline Lewis wrote: > On Thu, 25 Sep 2008, Adam Holt wrote: > > >> Subject: suggestions for children with disabilities >> Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:27:43 -0400 >> From: Reuben K.
