Competitive Nature

Mastering activities of daily living (ADL) is essential for all children, especially those who are visually handicapped. In an eight-week, residential summer camp program, ADL was offered as part of the regular program and it was found that campers of varying ages consistently indicated that this was a most worthwhile learning experience. Due to their low pressure, less competitive nature, camps may represent an excellent vehicle for promoting these skills, and their use for such a purpose merits further exploration.

In a unit of 20 lessons sighted children were taught about the long cane, guide dogs, daily living skills, eye physiology, causes of blindness, eye care, braille, and attitudes toward blindness. The children were also required to perform some activities under blindfolds. After completing the unit, the children revealed far greater knowledge about blindness and had more positive attitudes toward blind persons—valuable preliminaries for mainstreaming blind children.

This is a case review of a male adult, GO, with nonverbal low functioning autism in his twenties. Previous psycho-educational assessment indicated that GO had a nonverbal IQ (NVIQ) of 73 within the borderline range, an adaptive behavior composite score at the extremely low percentile rank, and poor executive functioning (EF) capability with majority of the EF components falling in the performance range from borderline problem to problematic range. His family has expressed their concern if GO would be able to take care of himself when they are too old or no longer around to care for him. This short paper is an attempt to review all the previous assessment results and to find out if GO could be helped to improve in his daily living skills in order to lead a more independent life in the future.

Mobile phones are a prime example of an everyday technology that can be repurposed to be an assistive technology for an individual with a disability. In-and-of-themselves as well as through their capabilities to host applications (apps), mobile phones enhance the independence of individuals with disabilities in multiple functional areas, including – but not limited to – daily living skills, communication, and navigation within one's community. This article provides readers with the current literature and considerations for using mobile phones as repurposed assistive technology for individuals with disabilities with a focus on mobiles phones for promoting independence, for use as a prompting device, and for use as an AAC device. This article stresses the lack of existing research base, but the potential of mobile phones to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities.
