摘要：

This paper provides an overview of microswitch-based programs for persons with multiple disabilities. Three types of programs are included in the overview: Firstly, programs involving only one microswitch, aimed at promoting specific response engagement in relation to contingent environmental stimulation; secondly, programs involving one or two microswitches, directed at promoting response engagement and choice; thirdly, programs typically involving a combination of two microswitches, aimed at promoting response engagement as well as reducing problem posture or problem behavior. This paper also provides general considerations about the programs reviewed (i.e., in terms of applicability, potential benefits, and costs), and suggests several issues for new research in the area. © 2014, Springer International Publishing AG.
