Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess, by analyzing survey responses, the perceived behavioral changes that were observed when adaptive seating devices and training programs were provided to multihandicapped, developmentally disabled individuals. Results for 41 clients were analyzed. Statistical analysis revealed that significant changes in social interaction, positioning, tracking, grasping, and self-feeding were perceived by parents, guardians, or trainers. The necessity of a prospective study to analyze data about the influence of behavior programs used with adaptive seating devices is discussed.Keywords
