It physically hurts his hands and fingers to type. This device, called the orbitouch keyboard, was originally used to help those suffering from carpal tunnel allows Devin and others with disabilities to type easier. The keyboard is made up of two domes that slide in eight different positions marked with colors, which allows the user to write with much less finger movement. By sliding the domes around to these different position combinations, different letters and numbers are formed. It also has a built in sensing device that takes the place of the mouse, eliminating the need for hand movement even more. Students with Autism or other disabilities, like Devin, may feel significantly less frustrated when using this device, since it eliminates much of the possibility for fatigue during typing, and may allow them to develop a love for writing that they may have never had before.
