I've had a similar problem with 'Adult returners', who, in the act of clicking, moved the mouse outside the boundary of the button. Depending on the layout of the screen constraining the mouse might not solve the problem as the 'mousedown' may be in one button area and the 'mouseup' (after moving) occur in another.
For our 'tests' we scripted the buttons to respond on a 'Mousedown'? This means any movement after the 'click' is irrelevant. Hope this helped.

Sometimes they also have motor skills problems. I ask them to rate something using a scale made up of adjacent buttons which behave like radio buttons, but offers a bigger target. Sometimes the act of clicking by users nudges the pointer off the button group so the mouseup is not registered. Since I am timing responses, this is a real pain, to say nothing of the frustration caused to the user. I am thinking of trying to constrain the pointer so it cannot move out of the rating scale area until a rating has been made. Before I start to experiment, has anyone any suggestions or advice?
