Many categories of handicapped people experience serious difficulties in communicating. Among these are the deaf, whose language development is retarded primarily on account of poor speech control, the deaf-blind, whose only means of communication is touch, and the motor disabled, who often lack speech control and/or the ability to make the movements required to write or type. These disabilities, often associated with neuropsychiatric disorders, negatively affect the learning and the socialization processes of handicapped children. The advent and ever-growing power of personal computers (PCs) has opened up new opportunities in providing tools through which the disabled can vastly improve their communication capabilities. This paper describes some of these developments in Italy.
许多类别的残疾人在沟通方面都面临严重困难。其中包括聋人，他们的语言发展主要因言语控制能力差而滞后；聋盲人士，他们唯一的沟通方式是触摸；还有行动不便者，他们往往缺乏言语控制能力和/或进行书写或打字所需动作的能力。这些残疾常常与神经精神障碍相关，对残疾儿童的学习和社交过程产生负面影响。个人电脑（PC）的出现及其不断增强的功能为提供工具带来了新机会，通过这些工具，残疾人能够极大地提高他们的沟通能力。本文介绍了意大利在这方面的一些发展情况。
