Of course after the "Vision Part 2", it is important adding: "Motion 
Part 3" and "Hearing Part 4". For hearing a wrote a blog post about 
audio mono for unilateral deafness, a TODO is to allow users to connect 
hearing aids to FreeBSD; I haven't succeeded at the moment.

      2 things come to mind:  1- if this is a separate handbook and not
      part of the User Handbook, it should be referenced there in
      appropriate sections; and 2- there should be a part for motion
      impairments, including such things as keyboard navigation and
      on-screen virtual keyboards.
