Abstract
The present study was aimed at developing a computer-aided program for promoting performance of unsupervised activities with two multihandicapped adolescents. Simple household and occupational tasks already familiar to the subjects were selected as activities. Both subjects discriminated the pictorial representations of those activities. In order to control for the effects of the computer-aided program, the subjects were also exposed to a card progrm. Data indicate that the computer-aided program was successful with both subjects. Advantages and limitations of this program are discussed.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
