title: A computer-aided programme for promoting unsupervized activities for multihandicapped adolescents.
abstract: The present study was aimed at developing a computer-aided programme for promoting performance of unsupervized 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 programme, the subjects were also exposed to a card programme. Data indicate that the computer-aided programme was successful with both subjects. Advantages and limitations of this programme are discussed.
