This program allows a joystick to control the movement of the mouse cursor on the screen. Catherine uses the small motion in her left arm to move the joystick, which in turn moves the mouse cursor on the computer screen. The joystick is calibrated and enabled from this program. The type of widgit used for Catherine is controlled from this program. It also has other features that can be changed to accomodate Catherine, such as the speed of the mouse cursor.







Latin Sounds program


This is the program generates 16 different Latin Sounds. When Catherine creates a mouse click with one of her widgits, this program generates a sound to notify Catherine that she has clicked the mouse. This is extremely helpful to Catherine because she has very little feeling in her arms and often does not know she has clicked the mouse. Although only 2 sounds are needed for Catherine, for the left and right mouse click, the 16 possible sounds from this program allow Catherine to have some variety in sounds.
