Abstract
Assistive Technology for Promoting Adaptive Behaviors of Children with Cerebral Palsy
Highlights
assistive technology (AT) is an umbrella term including any piece, device and/or equipment aimed at promoting self-determination and independence of participants involved [9]
Within all the aforementioned programs, indices of happiness and/or indices of positive participations as outcome measure of the quality of life, participants preference checks, and social validation assessment involving sensitive external raters may be carried out as to corroborate the clinical validity of such interventions [21,22]. Depending upon their levels of functioning, children with Cerebral palsy (CP) may be exposed to different AT-based interventions focused on various rehabilitative objectives
Children disposing of a very low and limited behavioral repertoire combined with severe to profound intellectual disabilities, as children with CP associated to autism spectrum disorders who exhibit multiple disabilities, may be exposed to a single microswitch-based program aimed at enhancing the participant with self-determination and independent access to a unique category of stimulation [13]
Summary
AT is an umbrella term including any piece, device and/or equipment aimed at promoting self-determination and independence of participants involved [9]. Depending upon their levels of functioning, children with CP may be exposed to different AT-based interventions focused on various rehabilitative objectives.
