Abstract

This paper describes the application of a Technical Assistance system developed by the Vienna University of Technology. Main focus has been to provide new means for severely and multiple disabled children in order to support the children's development and to give them more independence and autonomy while exploring their material and social environment. The concept of the system and the experiences collected in practical application of the system in a smart room of an Austrian Support Centre for disabled children are outlined. Based on the encouraging results the system now is also being used in other institutions, in private homes and in higher education in order to enhance independent living of profoundly disabled persons.
