Well, but if you need to control your software through basically just
the voice, if that's all that's left, then Pd/Max are horrible tools.
They also wouldn't be the tools of choice for blind people. 

I'd rather suggest learning a text based language, and I'd suggest not
to use a pure synthesis language like Supercollider, but a "real"
programming language like Python, Lisp/Scheme, Forth etc., because
with these one may also be able to build some other tools and user
interfaces that help with one's specific physical handicap. I
recommend scripting languages like Python here, because they are
quicker to write than, say, C++, which is important, if writing is
difficult because of a severe handicap.

Oh, and Lisp/Scheme seem to have the best libraries for Computer-aided
composition with Common Music.

Ciao
