Accessibility for players with disabilities

I have a player with cerebral palsy, and I'm looking for scripts or anything that would make their interactions with the Roll20 interface easier. Of course I'll have to curate something that is better suited to them, but I'm trying to figure out what already exists out there. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

Hi Dario M.,  Did you post in the Roll20 subreddit? If so, hi again.  If not, which sheet are you using? Depending on the sheet there may be solutions.

Depending on the sheet there may be solutions.  **UPDATE** After talking with my player, the biggest issue they said they had is with the mouse arrow, clicking stuff, especially when boxes are small. While arrow-key and drop-down menus, that use arrow-key interaction, are fine. So, after having talked with my player, my plan is to create macros for the Quick Bar menu that are drop-down menus that can be interacted with arrow-key pressing send/enter to activate. I already have Savings Throws and Skill Checks figured out and done. Token movement on battlemaps can already be done by arrow-key. But there's still the issue that they will always have to first use the mouse arrow to first click those menus or the token. Changing the mouse to fully arrow-keys is probably the best way to make the interface more accessible. I still have to do more testing, we'll be doing some this coming Sunday and see if my assumptions are correct. Thanks for the help!
I know there has been some interest in the use of Elgato Stream Decks with Roll20, and if you're able to make that work, that would probably be the best option. That would give your player an interface with buttons that can be pressed with their hand instead of having to use the mouse to click on things. The downside is it requires a bit of customization, and there isn't a direct interface built into Roll20, so it would definitely need some work to setup.

Hi Dario! This might help. If they can install (or you can help them install) the Stylus extension and this style , it makes the Token Action and Macro Bar buttons significantly larger: If you decide to do this, let me know if it needs to be tweaked in any way. I think that this could be a boon for folks with motor or sight difficulties.

I have a userscript somewhere (not a Mod script—it needs something like Greasemonkey to install) that allows you to send text (as in macros) directly to the chat with fKeys. It could probably be leveraged to work with a StreamDeck as well, though I would have no way of testing. Let me know if it's worth tracking down.
