Hello Kasondra, 

I have seen special input devices for people who can only use one hand. I
tried one for a while and there was a bit of a learning curve. 

I would strongly encourage you to consider teaching it. there is definitely
a market for that type of skill and put together in a step by step training
package/course you could do it! 

Remember... 

No one is given a dream without also being given the power to make it come
true. 

Kaitlyn :)

Because I can only type with my right hand, everyone thought I should only
use a special keyboard.  I always knew that I couldn't go through life
trying to get a special keyboard.  When I was eleven years old, I taught
myself to use a "normal" keyboard while standing in a typewriter store.  I
simply place my right hand on the F, G, H, and J keys.  I can reach most of
the rest of the keys from this position.  I was clocked in college as typing
40 WPM.  I know I type faster than my husband and most of my friends.  I can
use this technique to access almost any keyboard I come across.  Most of the
time it is very efficient, unless my fingernails are too long or I am tired.
I can't do much about the fact that I can only use my right hand, but I can
type well.  I have thought of marketing my technique which I have used
successfully for the past eighteen years.  Any thoughts?
