computerdisc-l: accomodation

["Mitzi Cox" <mitzicox29@hotmail.com>]

I have a student who is a senior.  He moved here from Detroit.  He has been 
coming to my class since the beginning of school.  We just started our 
keyboarding unit at the end of last week.  He came to me yesterday to tell 
me that he has webbed fingers on his right hand and his fingers are much 
shorter on that hand also.  He was asking  if there was a different method 
of typing that he could use.  He said that he experienced a lot of pain on 
Friday when we did a lot of typing for the first time.

I had never noticed his hand before.  I told him that he would just have to 
go slower and rest it often.  Have any of you ever had this problem?  What 
did you do to accomodate that student.

Thanks for your help.
