Abstract
This study was aimed at extending the evaluation of a special microswitch for vocalization responses with two persons with multiple disabilities. The study was carried out according to an ABAB sequence (with A representing baseline and B treatment) with one person, and an AB sequence with the other person. Activation of the microswitch during treatment produced favourite environmental stimulation. The results showed that both persons had an increase in the frequencies of vocalization responses during treatment. The importance of using these (fairly simple) responses within intervention programmes and some methodological issues were discussed.
