Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) — Question 4

An individual is developing an upper extremity medical problem that is currently increasing pain and reducing movement in the elbows, while expected to eventually spread into the wrists and hands. Which group of accommodations should be recommended?

Answer options

• A. Adjustable keyboard/mouse tray, ergonomic keyboard, and adjustable monitor
• B. Screen reader software, keyboard shortcuts, and adjustable keyboard/mouse tray
• C. Voice recognition software, ergonomic mouse, and adjustable keyboard/mouse tray
• D. Voice recognition software, screen reader software, and ergonomic mouse

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because voice recognition software allows the user to control their computer without needing to use their hands, which is crucial given the pain and movement limitations. The ergonomic mouse and adjustable keyboard/mouse tray further help to reduce strain on the upper extremities. The other options do not adequately address the need for hands-free operation, making them less suitable for the individual's condition.
