computerdisc-l: Books for Handicapped Students

I have two books for handicapped students. The best one is "Type With One Hand" by Nina K. Richardson. It is published by South-Western Publishing Company (2nd edition), 1959. It shows how to reach for keys, etc. I made a copy for my student to take home to practice. The other one is "The Injured Typist Types" by Dorothy Lynde Grove, J. Weston Walch, Publisher. It is mainly practice. The first one really helped him. Good luck!
