[senit] "Press any key" Keyboard Access

Hi

I don't know what level this child is at but if it is a cause/effect level
then you might try looking for free "keyboard bangers" software.  This
software is designed for babies and let's individuals "bang" on the keyboard
and then makes sounds/images appear on the screen.

Many of them are relatively age appropriate.  Here are two I can think of
http://www.klangogames.com/en/asc/
and http://www.kneebouncers.com/kneebouncers.html .

Or you can set something like an intellikeys keyboard to be used as a
switch.
