Abstract
In the present century the differences between healthy and handicapped people become more obvious due to rapid growth of digital information technologies. Contrary to what some people think, this difference is not about their body deformity or disability to hear or talk. The difference is just in their accessibility level to digital information throughout computers and networks. Information and communication technology (ICT) prepares great opportunities to improve the quality of handicapped people learning process and their life. In this paper we discuss a technique to facilitate human and computer interactions. Using the proposed technique, e-learning contents will be more accessible for arm muscle disorders, Parkinson and hand tremor people.
