To assess whether two women with blindness and additional disabilities could make independent phone calls through a computer-aided telephone system.
For each participant, the study involved an ABAB design, in which the A represented baseline phases and the B represented intervention phases with the special telephone system (involving among others a net-book computer with specific software, a global system for mobile communication modem and a microswitch).
Both participants learned to use the system and made phone calls independently to a variety of partners such as family members, friends and staff personnel.
The system assessed in this study might represent a useful means for enabling persons with blindness and additional disabilities to manage phone calls on their own.
评估两名失明且伴有其他残疾的女性是否能够通过计算机辅助电话系统独立拨打电话。
对于每位参与者，该研究采用ABAB设计，其中A代表基线阶段，B代表使用特殊电话系统的干预阶段（该系统包括一台装有特定软件的上网本电脑、一个全球移动通信调制解调器和一个微型开关等）。
两名参与者都学会了使用该系统，并能独立给家庭成员、朋友和工作人员等各类对象打电话。
本研究中评估的系统可能是一种有助于失明且伴有其他残疾的人自行拨打电话的有效方式。
