Lightbulb My list

All, thank you for responding. I've been doing research and here is a list of suggestions for people with motor coordination problems:

Use javascript menus sparingly - difficult for people with tremors - because pointer may slip off, then the menu disappears. If used, be sure to make sure the menu doesn't disappear too soon.

Use underlines for links.

Make sure there is a lot of spacing between a list of links (like double-spaced between)

Add "alt" and "title" text to links and graphics

make sure form fill-ins are in order so users can tab from first to last

Include a text-list site map so users can get around your website in a text - rather than graphic way

Text should be minimum of 12 point, sans-serif

LInks should not "open new pages"

That's all I can think of at the moment. If I forgot any, I'll add them. And maybe these will give you ideas as well!

Jean
