Keytools Ltd is a commercial organisation established in 1989, with the objective of "Providing effective special needs access equipment for computer users in education, leisure, work, therapy and communication".
This objective is achieved by continuously sourcing and making available innovative products that resolve computer access problems. People who are challenged by some degree of cognitive, sensory or motor difficulty are thus assisted in the achievement of their goals. Essentially, Keytools is a specialist distribution business with a significant add value element.
Clients include charities, health authorities, hospitals, special schools, government organisations, residential homes, institutions, and employers. In addition, a large number of clients are served on an individual basis.
In short, anyone who finds the standard user interface a barrier to using a computer will find their needs met at Keytools.
Clients provided for include all age ranges from two to geriatric; all physical abilities, including blind, partially-sighted, muscular, learning abilities.
Keytools provides a client assessment and user-familiarization service. This means that you can call them for technical advice before you buy, meaning that you won't spend more time and money than you need to on selecting the right equipment. Also available is a training function for care-workers and other client-facing teams.
The authors and editors of this article are employed to create accurate and up to date content reflecting reliable research evidence, guidance and best clinical practice. They are free from any commercial conflicts of interest. Find out more about updating.
