I'd apply to foundations to research ways of re-abling, since your convergence of perspectives makes you uniquely qualified, especially for research related to your own disability.

Honestly this would be something I'd be very happy to work in - I have been using the Talon project to get work done as well a number of hardware hacks.

Is there some specific organisation you're aware of that does these things? I've been looking into government/non profit, however nothing calls for qualifications like what I have.

Are you on the talon slack? Cursorless can help you code faster

There’s a #cursorless channel specifically for it, a good cardioid headset mic helps a lot too

I'll join the channel. I have a blue yeti nano - it seems to do the job decently.

No special knowledge here. Imagine you are starting your job by collecting the research, and do enough collection now to see where the researchers work. Also disabled rights groups may be able to refer or advise.
