Abstract

Simple technology, switches, and adapted toys are available as learning tools for the young disabled child. This article argues that switch-toy technology is appropriate for fostering means-end skills from infancy. Learning data from a computer-monitored adapted toy program are presented to illustrate a means-end training sequence.
