to allow the person direct access to stimulation as well as the possibility to call for social
attention and interaction. The fourth section discusses (1) the results obtained with the dif-
ferent forms of technology used and their applicability and possible impact in daily educa-
tion/rehabilitation contexts, and (2) the possibility of using combinations of microswitches
also for programs aimed at simultaneously targeting increases of adaptive responding
and reduction of problem behaviors or inadequate postures.
