Still Picture Telephone Use by Persons with Profound Mental Retardation: A Pilot Study.
Brodin, Jane; Bjorck-Akesson, Eva
European Journal of Special Needs Education, v10 n1 p31-39 Mar 1995
This pilot study describes how four adults with profound mental retardation used picture telephones to communicate. The findings refute the belief that mental retardation and advanced technology are incompatible and suggest that picture telephones may become a necessary support mechanism to provide individuals with mental retardation access to telecommunications.
