Parapalegic accessibility alternative for slim fibe remote

I have been wanting to help a fellow in my building for years. Ever year I go at this and - perhaps I am searching wrong- but I never find help.

He navigates his wheelchair with his mouth and he can navigate to slip on a head wand to type on his computer.

But his slim remote doesn't work for him. If he touches it wrong with his head want it moves. Buttons are small - hard to use.
HELP!! HELP! HELP!
I wish there was an app for his desktop. He can navigate the computer key board pretty well.

I saw there was a thing called tecla - can that help him?

I contacted Bell accessibility services and they suggested a universal remote - THANKS BELL!! am I going to buy him a random one to see if it works for him? I don't think he is the only Bell customer with mobility issues.

I am open to suggestions.
