Abstract
Abstract
Social positioning involves positioning individuals with extensive support needs (ESN) in proximity to and facing a communication partner, with access to a speech-generating device (SGD). We used a multiple probe design to evaluate if social positioning would increase the symbolic and nonsymbolic communication of 10 adults with ESN when they were out of their wheelchairs. Dependent variables included (a) SGD activations, (b) eye gaze, (c) vocalizations, and (d) reaching. Visual analysis of the results indicated a functional relation between the introduction of social positioning and increased eye gaze and SGD activations of participants while maintenance data were variable. Implications for service providers and future research directions are discussed.
