However, little is known about adopting the commercial trackball with a revised trackball driver as a more feasible input device. <jats:bold>Aims:<\/jats:bold> To assess whether two children with profound multiple disabilities and minimal motor skills would be able to control environmental stimulation using thumb poke ability through cordless trackballs installed with a newly developed mouse driver (i.e. a new mouse driver replacing a standard mouse driver, turning a trackball mouse into a precise thumb poke detector). <jats:bold>Method:<\/jats:bold> An ABAB design and a 2-month post-intervention check were adopted to perform the study. <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Data showed that the two children improved significantly in their target response (thumb poke) to activate the control system to produce environmental stimuli during the B (intervention) phases. This performance was maintained at the post-intervention check. <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> The use of thumb poke in connection with a trackball allowed the children with multiple disabilities and minimal motor skills to increase their level of response and stimulation control.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1352465809990683","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,18]],"date-time":"2010-01-18T08:56:15Z","timestamp":1263804975000},"page":"211-219","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Assisting Two Children with Multiple Disabilities and Minimal Motor Skills Control Environmental Stimuli with Thumb Poke Through a Trackball"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Ching-Hsiang","family":"Shih","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ching-Tien","family":"Shih","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1352465809990683_ref1","unstructured":"ASUS (2009).
