Thanks - The Micro Trac was what I was thinking of. I'll look into the other
suggestions too. I'd forgotten about Prophet - must check out the current

You might be interested to know, David, that the student is currently using
a computer provided by the ACE centre. His condition has progressed since
the computer was provided. I wonder if there might be a way for us to work
together on supporting students who have progressed through school and
college receiving support from the ACE centre and are now entering higher
education and referred for DSA assessment.
