Alternative Keyboards
How to pronounce:
əˈlɜːtɪŋ ˈkiːbɔːdz
Definition:
Alternative keyboards that are different in size, shape, layout, or function. They offer individuals with special needs greater efficiency, control, and comfort. For example, a traditional QWERTY Keyboard may be confusing to a child with a developmental disability and can be replaced with a keyboard that lists letters A-Z in big, bold letters and doesn’t contain a lot of “extra” keys. This makes focusing on spelling and typing words a lot easier.
