For people with severe/profound and multiple disabilities, managing
the basic necessities of daily life often poses myriad challenges.
Despite great odds, advances in assistive technology are making a
difference in these individuals' lives. Advances in microswitches,
voice outcome communication aids, and computer-based systems are
creating new opportunities for living independently, improving
basic life skills, and reducing problem behaviors among individuals
with combined motor, sensory, and intellectual disabilities. This
unique volume examines how education and rehabilitation can improve
the lives of even those individuals most affected by
severe/profound and multiple disabilities. Interventions currently
in use and in experimental stages are surveyed in terms of how they
work and their applicability to clients with various needs. In
addition, it examines the characteristics of developmentally
disabled populations and offers guidelines for choosing suitable
technologies. It presents empirical evidence on the advances in
improving interaction with caregivers, control of the home
environment, handling self-care tasks, and other core skills.
Assistive Technology examines interventions that are innovative,
respectful of the dignity of clients, and practical for ongoing
use, including: * Microswitches in habilitation programs. *
Speech-generating devices for communication and social development.
* Instructional technology for promoting academic, work, and
leisure skills. * Assistive technology for promoting ambulation. *
Orientation systems for promoting movement indoors. * Assistive
technology for reducing problem behaviors. A state-of-the-art guide
to a growing field, Assistive Technology is an invaluable resource
for researchers, clinicians, graduate students as well as
clinicians and allied professionals in developmental psychology,
rehabilitation and rehabilitative medicine, learning and
instruction, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and
educational technology.
