This research study develops an interactive, microcomputer-based, assistive and adaptive device locator system (adls) for disabled persons. information retrieval is organized around a functional model of impairments and corresponding adaptive devices. the design theory and initial data base content… More

This research study develops an interactive, microcomputer-based, picture icon layout and authoring system for educators, communications specialists, and educational technologists who adapt or fabricate communications aids and systems for non-vocal or speech-impaired children or adults. a prototype… More

The project develops and fieldtests a commercial prototype soft- ware/hardware package designed to support children who have limited physical control and difficulty maintaining appropriate posture due to neorological deficits. the posture monitor (pm) consists of a microprocessor-controlled… More

This project develops and field tests a prototype software/hardware assessment package to support assistive technology assessment personnel responsible for selection of appropriate control interface devices for persons who have difficulty interacting with their environment. this population includes… More

Sports Center Unlimited will be a simulated sports/leisure activity exploration program for youths with physical disabilities. The Phase I prototype will run on a Macintosh using QuickTime multi-media with sound, color, video, animation, and user interaction. As one of many animated characters, each… More
