Chuck, Sounds like your Mr. Chips program is a good step in the right direction. The needs of learners will be different from the needs of adults with cognitive disabilities (e.g. it's OK for adults to use "crutches" as much as they need to, if the "crutch" is helpful). >The work will be difficult and it is likely to take many years to convince >publishers and site authors to provide content suitable for meeting these >needs.

Chuck, I would be very interested in thinking (and working) towards the development of Mr. Chips and other educationally-oriented software. Let me know how I can help. Anne Anne L.
