Promoting adaptive behaviors by two girls with Rett syndrome through a microswitch-based program
We assessed a microswitch-based program to improve self-determination to access to preferred stimuli and to foster locomotor behavior by two girls with Rett syndrome and multiple disabilities. To enhance the first behavior (access to preferred stimuli) a wobble microswitch (sensitive touch sensor) was used while for the second behavior (step responses) optic sensors were applied. A second aim o...

متن کاملAssistive Technology-based Programs for Promoting Independence of Post-coma Children
Post-coma children usually fail to be constructively engaged with their surrounding environment, due to extensive motor disabilities and lack of speech. In fact, they may pose serious challenges to daily life contexts (i.e., home, medical and rehabilitative settings), since they are frequently unable to correctly manage the positive stimulation by their-own and they are inadequate to be involve...
