Melanie,
Someone that does not have good muscle control with an illness like Cerebral
Palsy can be unable to use a mouse. Having to tab through a number of links can
be time consuming and frustrating. The very act of hitting the tab key can be
very difficult also. I have a good friend with advanced arthritis. She can not
use a mouse and finds typing difficult and painful. She types with a pencil.
Being able to use a skip navigation link is very helpful to her.
