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. 410 0$aAutism and Child Psychopathology Series,$x2192-922X 606 $aSelf-help devices for people with disabilities 606 $aSelf-help devices for people with disabilities$xEvaluation 615 0$aSelf-help devices for people with disabilities. 615 0$aSelf-help devices for people with disabilities$xEvaluation. 676 $a362.1 676 $a362.1/968 676 $a362.1968 700 $aLancioni$b Giulio$0167024 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437966903321 996 $aAssistive Technology$92079549 997 $aUNINA
