Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Shih, Ching-Hsiang – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
This study evaluated whether two people with multiple disabilities and minimal motor behavior would be able to improve their Drag-and-Drop (DnD) performance using their finger/thumb poke ability with a mouse scroll wheel through a Dynamic Drag-and-Drop Assistive Program (DDnDAP). A multiple probe design across participants was used in this study…

Shih, Ching-Hsiang; Shih, Ching-Tien – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
This study evaluated whether two people with multiple disabilities who could not easily use a computer through a standard input device (i.e., mouse or trackball) would be able to improve their pointing performance using thumb poke with a standard trackball through a Dynamic Trackball-Pointing Assistive Program (DTPAP) and a newly developed…

Shih, Ching-Hsiang; Shih, Ching-Tien; Peng, Chin-Ling – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
This study evaluated whether two people with multiple disabilities would be able to improve their pointing performance through an Automatic Target Acquisition Program (ATAP) and a newly developed mouse driver (i.e. a new mouse driver replaces standard mouse driver, and is able to monitor mouse movement and intercept click action). Initially, both…

The Effects of Computerized Symbol Processor Instruction on the Communication Skills of Nonspeaking Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Osguthorpe, Russell T.; Li Chang, Linda – Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), 1988
A computerized symbol processor system using an Apple IIe computer and a Power Pad graphics tablet was tested with 22 nonspeaking, multiply disabled students. The students were taught to express themselves independently in writing, and they did significantly better than control students on measures of language comprehension and symbol recognition.…
