Using Multiple Microswitches To Promote Different Responses in Children with Multiple Disabilities.

Research in Developmental Disabilities, v22 n4 p309-18 Jul-Aug 2001

Data showed that both boys learned to respond to the individual microswitches. The simultaneous availability of two or three microswitches promoted high levels of cumulative responding.
