Thanks all for the suggestions. She's already contacted me and we've
already discussed this. I was just getting some additional information in
advance. My sense is that she already has some type of set-up on a home
machine that allows her to work on the computer well as she contacted me
via email and doesn't seem to have a problem using that medium. I'm not
sure about the classroom - we have rooms ranging from high-tech labs with
large built-in projectors, gigabit connections, etc. to ancient rooms where
the tech people manually carry in a laptop and small projector daily where
there is no internet access. This semester I was unlucky enough to get the
latter. One issue is what to do in the classroom, the other is what she
will do at home. Our disabilities office will take care of everything else
for me.

I'll have to check out XPs accessibility options - there is no doubt the
student is fully aware of them, but this is all new to me. I have no idea
what JAWS is, but I'll check it out.
