To extend the assessment of technology-based programs for promoting stimulus choice and staff/caregiver calls or radio operation and text messaging.
In Study I, the program involved a portable computer, commercial software, and a microswitch to allow a man with motor impairment and moderate intellectual disability to choose among preferred stimuli (e.g., songs and film clips) and persons to call. In Study II, the programs involved (a) a radio device and an electronic control unit or (b) a net-book computer and a global system for mobile communication. A woman with blindness and moderate intellectual disability used a microswitch to operate the radio or send and listen to text messages.
The participants succeeded in using the technology-aided programs through simple microswitch activations involving partial hand closure (Study I) or hand pressure (Study II).
Technology-based programs can provide persons with multiple disabilities relevant leisure and communication opportunities.
扩展对基于技术的项目的评估,这些项目用于促进刺激选择以及工作人员/照顾者通话或无线电操作和短信功能。
在研究I中,该项目包括一台便携式计算机、商业软件和一个微动开关,以使一名有运动障碍和中度智力残疾的男子能够在首选刺激(如歌曲和电影片段)以及通话对象之间进行选择。在研究II中,项目包括(a)一个无线电设备和一个电子控制单元,或(b)一台上网本电脑和一个全球移动通信系统。一名有视力障碍和中度智力残疾的女性使用微动开关来操作无线电或发送和收听短信。
参与者通过简单的微动开关激活成功使用了技术辅助项目,这些激活动作包括部分手部闭合(研究I)或手部按压(研究II)。
基于技术的项目可以为多重残疾人士提供相关的休闲和交流机会。
