DESCRIPTION:Computers offer valuable assistance to people with physical di
 sabilities. However designing human-computer interfaces for these users is
  complicated. The range of abilities is more diverse than for able-bodied 
 users\, which makes analytical modelling harder. Practical user trials are
  also difficult and time consuming. We are developing a simulator to help 
 with the evaluation of assistive interfaces. It can predict the likely int
 eraction patterns when undertaking a task using a variety of input devices
 \, and estimate the time to complete the task in the presence of different
  disabilities and for different levels of skill. In this talk I shall pres
 ent the detailed design of different components of the simulator and a pro
 totype of its implementation.
