Assistive Technology Interventions for Individuals with Severe/Profound and Multiple Disabilities

From the reviews:

“This book focuses on two large groups: students who have a typical level of intellectual functioning combined with motor or sensory-motor and communication disabilities, and individuals with severe intellectual disabilities who may or may not have motor, sensory/motor and communication disabilities. … This book is a valuable reference for practitioners in the field as it not only describes the different ways that assistive technology can be used, but also what intervention outcomes can be expected for specific populations.” (Sandra E. James, Journal of child and Family Studies, Vol. 23, 2014)

"[The book] is unique in that it provides a review of the academic literature concerning the evidence about the use of assistive devices designed for a population that can provide the most challenges... This text can be of significant assistance to the professional and interdisciplinary team that is working to provide services for an individual with serious and compounding challenges associated with multiple disabilities."
