If it helps, from

"When Sticky Keys is active, OS X visually displays each modifier key in
the sequence in the upper-right corner of the screen, accompanied by a
sound effect, so you can verify the sequence and correct it (if needed)
before it’s entered. When you press the last key in the sequence, OS X
plays a sound, enters the keys as a chord, and removes the visual
representation from the screen."

Note that both of those behaviors are configurable. Key modifiers are
actually overlaid on the screen, rendered semi-transparent, and can be
dragged around with the mouse. Amazingly, I could find no screnshot of
OSX online, so I include one here:

Please let me know if that link doesn't work. I shan't remove it, but
you're welcome to re-host it somewhere more sensible.

I will reiterate that this is a serious issue for some, including me. It
is the difference between disability and health. Currently, OS X and
Windows appear to take such issues far more seriously - this has
actually been a problem with linux (and thus Ubuntu) now for years. But
if you got the right person (perhaps the person who coded sticky keys in
the first place?) I imagine this is a couple hours of work to address.
