PATINO-CUERVO, Oliva  and  CARO, Edgar Orlando. Technology applied to a particular case of multiple disability. Revista Investig. Desarro. Innov. [online]. 2017, vol.8, n.1, pp.121-133. ISSN 2027-8306.  https://doi.org/10.19053/20278306.v8.n1.2017.7373.

The results of a study called: communicator for children with multiple disabilities and its effect on the manifestation of a basic need, are shown. The study was developed with the objective of interpreting the behavior of a three year old child with visual impairment and autism, in the communication of his desire to feed, mediated by a communicator adapted to his individual characteristics. The booklet includes the approach of the communicator as a facilitator in the acquisition of oral language, under a 30 day intervention, six hours a day. The results of the process are presented in different theoretical-methodological moments, from an approximation to the case study in its specific peculiarities, which after having been analyzed, led to the construction of a type of Alternative and Increasing communication System, which coupled with a process of mediation; allowed us to validate the Feuerstian notion of Cognitive Structural Modifiability.

Keywords : augmentative and alternative communication system; autism; blindness; oral language acquisition.
