MS made one years ago called an Easy Ball. It was about 4" across.
One of my old members is also a CP victim and can only use it as her
movements are limited. Only problem, only one button.
She has to have her sister there on a backup mouse with buttons when
we do some work. Usually I just get on her system with Logmein and
fix stuff for her.

I work with people with disabilities like CP, thus they often have
trouble using a mouse. Some can use keyboard shortcuts and
mousekeys, but almost all have had success with a Kensington
ExpertMouse trackball. It has a nice size ball (about the size of
a cue ball) and 4 programmable buttons. I like the buttons because
you can program them not only for things like click and right
click, but also for a number of other things like double click or
drag or scrolling. It retails for $99, but you can usually find it for less.

I'll make a note of that trackball. If only we had $99! This
center is basically self-supporting now. It was started with grant
money, that no one bothered to reapply for. They all seem content
mostly with just the socialization and lunches that they pay for, in
space donated by the school. Most of them are depression-era folks,
so they don't expect a lot. Maybe some of them will get interested
enough to buy some new equpiment.
