The main purpose of this study was to find out whether three students with multiple disabilities could increase their keyboard typing performance by poking the standard mouse scroll wheel with the newly developed Dynamic Typing Assistive Program (DTAP) and the built-in On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) computer software. The DTAP is a software solution that allows users to complete typing tasks with OSK software easily, quickly, and accurately by poking the mouse wheel. This study was performed according to a multiple baseline design across participants, and the experimental data showed that all of the participants significantly increased their typing efficiency in the intervention phase. Moreover, this improved performance was maintained during the maintenance phase. Practical and developmental implications of the findings were discussed.
本研究的主要目的是探究三名多重残疾学生能否通过使用新开发的动态打字辅助程序（DTAP）和内置的屏幕键盘（OSK）计算机软件戳标准鼠标滚轮来提高其键盘打字表现。DTAP是一种软件解决方案，它允许用户通过戳鼠标滚轮轻松、快速且准确地使用OSK软件完成打字任务。本研究按照跨参与者的多重基线设计进行，实验数据表明，所有参与者在干预阶段的打字效率均显著提高。此外，这种改善后的表现在维持阶段得以保持。文中还讨论了研究结果的实际意义和发展意义。
