To enable two persons with acquired brain injury and multiple (e.g. motor and visual) disabilities to communicate with distant partners through a special messaging technology, which served to send out text messages and read (listen to) incoming messages.
The study was carried out according to a multiple probe design across participants. Both participants (adults) started with baseline in which the technology was not available and continued with intervention in which the technology was used. The technology involved a net-book computer provided with specific software, a global system for mobile communication (GSM) modem, microswitches and pre-recorded lists of persons and messages.
The participants' mean frequencies of messages sent out and received per 30-minute session were about three and two, respectively, during baseline and seven and four, respectively, during the intervention. All baseline messages were sent and received with guidance. Nearly all intervention messages were sent and received (listened to) independently by the participants.
Special messaging technology may help persons with multiple disabilities acquire high levels of independent, basic communication with distant partners.
使两名后天性脑损伤且伴有多种（如运动和视觉）残疾的人能够通过一种特殊的信息传递技术与远方的伙伴进行交流，该技术用于发送短信以及读取（收听）收到的信息。
该研究针对参与者采用多探针设计开展。两名参与者（成年人）均从技术不可用时的基线阶段开始，然后进入使用该技术的干预阶段。该技术包括一台装有特定软件的上网本电脑、一个全球移动通信系统（GSM）调制解调器、微动开关以及预先录制的人员和信息列表。
在基线阶段，参与者每30分钟发送和接收的信息平均频率分别约为3条和2条，而在干预阶段分别为7条和4条。所有基线阶段的信息都是在指导下发送和接收的。几乎所有干预阶段的信息都是由参与者独立发送和接收（收听）的。
特殊的信息传递技术可能有助于患有多种残疾的人实现与远方伙伴进行高水平的独立基本交流。
