| Research Abstract |
This research concerned about the AAC(Augmentative and Alternative Communication) technology and/or AT(Assistive Technology) for the multiple disabled children with sensory impairments. We had following 3 aims to investigate.
1)To develop new assessment methods of visual and/or auditory abilities for the multiple disabled children.
2)To plan attractive teaching methods of understanding environmental supports for the multiple disabled children with sensory impairments.
3)To specify strategies of effective environmental supports.
We gathered cases and statistics of the multiple disabled children with sensory impairments, digested theories and techniques of self-determination for disabled children, collected assistive technology aids, developed new sensory assessment methods, and experimentally tested these methods.
From the analysis of the statistics and the case works, we found followings.
a)There were 19.9% multiple disabled children in the schools for the visual disabilities. Most of the multiple disabled children with sensory impairments were with intellectual disabilities(70.5%). There were 33.3% multiple disabled children in the special schools(schools for the visual disabilities, hearing disabilities, intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, and health impairments).
b)Many teachers thought that ordinary AAC techniques could not adopt for these multiple disabled children with sensory impairments.
From the experiments, we developed below.
c)Assessment system for the multiple disabled children with low vision using eye movement.
d)Evaluation system for legibility as a universal design tool.
