I am not aware of any systematic modifications for use with one hand.
Do
bear in mind that, even if there were a special dialect of some sort, she
might only be understood by other users of the system. I assume we're
talking about ASL here ... I think perhaps she can cue the meaning of
her
signs by using initials wherever possible.
By the way, I've just made a discovery I'm very excited about .. you all
(especially the OTs) probably know about this, but Windows contains a
one-handed keyboard option - just go into Control Panel, then
Accessibility
Options, then tick "Stickykeys". I am using it at the moment, and you'll
notice I can actually produce capital letters and punctuation! Saves
ordering special equipment if you've got hemiparesis or like to drink
coffee
while typing.
Don't know if this helps at all ..
