People with mulitiple disabilities learn to engage in occupation and work activities with the support of technology-aided programs
Study 2

three adults
severe visual impairment
residual vision was basically functional to help them move without hitting obstacles in their proximity

emphasizes the importance of guiding them through the assembly process, that is, of helping them to take one object component at a time in the correct

Study 1
- Material, technology and stimuli
-
Computer system, was interfaced to optic sensor
-
Stimuli were selected for the study if the participant seemed to alert,orient, or smile to their samples
2 tables, one of which had a container attached to it
Stimuli for Rick- cartoons, songs, audio-recording of excited voices of family members
-
Section 2- the objects were on a table adjacent to the
one with the container and the participants had to make a slightly larger movement to take and drop the objects.
Section 3- the table with the objects was gradually distanced from the one with the container. At the end,
the distance between the area with the objects and the container’s opening was nearly 1 m
Section 1- The objects were on the table fitted with the cointainer. The participants had to perform very simple movements to drop an object into the container
Section 4- the distance between the area with the objects and the container increased to slightly more than 1 m
Benefits
Showed consistent and independent participants' engagement inobject-manipulation responses through a technology-aided program that monitered those responses and follwed tem with brief stimulation period automatically.
a valuable resource to help persons with profound and multiple
disabilities who generally have no interaction with objects within school settings, group homes, and day centers
The persons' engagement with the help of the technology might be viewed as instrumental for enabling them to enrich their stimulation input and probably their sense of satisfaction and pleasure
Rick (13)
Had no spesific form of expressive comumunication (eg., word or signs)
