For students with physical disabilities, computers with adaptive keyboards become their paper and pencil and the method they use to communicate their mastery of concepts. For students with cognitive disabilities, it becomes an adapted learning environment, presenting information in a format that allows full participation alongside their peers.

IntelliKeys plugs into any computer's USB port, Macintosh or Windows. IntelliKeys offers seamless installation with current operating systems as well as greater energy efficiency. In combination with its programmable overlays, IntelliKeys is the most flexible alternative keyboard available.

IntelliKeys alternative keyboard supports learners who struggle with:

• Range of motion and dexterity
• Fine motor skills
• Low vision, macular generation, or blindness
• Learning disabilities
• English Language Learning
• Pre-Reading

IntelliKeys Supports UDL

Research in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) proves that students benefit from multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression. IntelliKeys alternative keyboard allows unprecedented access to learning for students who use a computer via direct selection, joystick, or switches with scanning. Because IntelliKeys has no keys, teachers simply slide overlays onto its programmable surface to create keyboards for different students, curriculum areas and access needs. Universal design of IntelliKeys alternative keyboard overlays provide large, well-spaced "keys" in high-contrast colors to help learners easily locate letters, numbers, words, and directional arrows to engage in their curriculum.

IntelliKeys Promotes Inclusion in the Classroom

IntelliKeys helps students with special needs feel part of the group. IntelliKeys can be used in conjunction with standard keyboards and switches so students can work together on the same activity. For instance, picture-based overlays allow pre-readers and struggling readers to access activities alongside their peers. Use the QWERTY keyboard overlay support to young students until they are ready for an actual QWERTY computer keyboard. In combination with its many overlays, Intellikeys facilitates simultaneous yet individualized support for young students, struggling learners and ELL students.

Programmable Keyboard Options

For adults and those in rehabilitation, an IntelliKeys adapted keyboard reduces the impact of physical or sight limitations which can impede computer access. By reducing the number of keystrokes, IntelliKeys makes it possible to use email, web browsers, Facebook and other job-related tools. Use IntelliKeys in the workplace to accommodate people with disabilities ensuring success and ADA compliance.
