    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Assistive Technology

    Background:

    • Multihandicapped, developmentally disabled individuals often require specialized support.
    • Adaptive seating devices and targeted training programs can address functional limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate perceived behavioral changes in individuals with multiple handicaps and developmental disabilities.
    • To assess the impact of adaptive seating devices and training on client behavior.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey responses from parents, guardians, or trainers were analyzed.
    • Statistical analysis was performed on data from 41 clients.

    Main Results:

    • Significant perceived improvements were noted in social interaction.

  • Key areas of enhancement included positioning, tracking, grasping, and self-feeding.
  • Parents, guardians, and trainers reported positive behavioral changes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Adaptive seating and training programs appear beneficial for this population.
    • Further prospective research is needed to analyze the influence of behavior programs alongside adaptive seating.
