Adapted Keyboards


Adapted keyboards is a great accommodation for students who have disabilities such as vision impairments, limited fine motor skills, spastic movements, as well as cognitive disabilities.

There are many types of adapted keyboards. Some of these examples include:

  • Expanded keyboards           
  • One-handed keyboards 
  • Mini-keyboards 
  • On-screen keyboards
One example of an adapted keyboard that I found is called IntelliKeys.

Above is a video that explains in detail how to make specific overlays to accommodate each student based on their individual needs! IntelliKeys overlays can be customized to allow students to access websites, ask questions, write sentences, and more! The keyboard has modifications that can be customized it meet the individual student's need so that they can reach their educational goals and objectives.
