Abstract
This paper demonstrates the implementation of adaptive technology to assist a 26 year-old woman (WR) with severe developmental disabilities in her daily life activities. A multidisciplinary team of University-affiliated professionals and staff at a Center for persons with developmental disabilities worked together in evaluating WR and interfacing her with a specially adapted remote control for a TV/VCR. This paper delineates the process of identifying WR's specific needs to determine attributes of technology most conductive to her functioning.
