ONLINE
STORIES
The
online stories listed below can easily be made switch accessible.
Each story should have an arrow at the bottom of the page.
The user is supposed to click on the arrow, using the mouse,
to turn the page. For a switch user to turn the page, the
cursor needs to be placed on the arrow and kept there. When
the switch user hits the switch, the computer reads it as
a mouse click and turns the page. As long as the cursor
or the arrow on the page doesn't move, the user shoud be
able to navigate through these delightful stories.
