As one of the ways someone can have a disability is that he or she can not 
type, or use the mouse there are input methods that allow you to 'type' using 
only a joystick.
The physical joystick may be connected to the chin of someone that doesn't 
have any motor control in his hands, for example.

I found this Java applet on the blog of peter korn (a sun accessibility guy) 
so I suggest all developers to try this out to see what people can use 
to 'type' even without a keyboard. After all, seeing it in action gives you a 
lot better understanding of the problems facing a11y :)
