In the recent years, welfare equipment has been developed to support the disabled children. We are developing a joystick mouse to enable computer operation by disabled children. In this study, we develop such a joystick mouse using a microcontroller. In addition we intend to improve the operability of the equipment by ensuring software-like assistance. We believe that the equipment can respond flexibly to the difference in disabilities a disabled child, by providing software-like assistance. From the result of the experiment, we confirmed that the proposed method is effective in improving the operability.
