Adapting the Windows Display for people with Physical Difficulties

A variety of physical difficulties when accessing computers can be aided by adjusting the Windows display. The most common solution is to make items larger and consequently easier to target with the mouse. People with dyspraxia, perceptuo-motor difficulties and tremors might benefit from having larger icons and text. Those with more severe physical difficulties such as headpointer users could benefit even more by making items as large as possible without adversely affecting space on the screen.
