This study assessed whether two persons with profound multipledisabilities would be able to controlenvironmentalstimulation using handswing and a standard mouse with a newly developed mouse driver (i.e. anewmouse driver replaces standard mouse driver, and turns amouse into a precise two-dimensional motion detector). The study was performed according to an ABAB design and included a 2-month post-intervention check. Data showed that both participants significantly increased their target response (handswing) to activate the control system to produce environmentalstimulation during the B (intervention) phases. This performance was maintained at the post-intervention check. Practical and developmental implications of the findings were discussed.
