AB  - Persons with a diagnosis of minimally conscious state and pervasive motor 
      disabilities tend to be passive and isolated. A way to help them improve their 
      adaptive behavior (relate to their environment) involves the use of intervention 
      packages combining assistive technology with motivational strategies. The types 
      of assistive technology included in those packages may consist of (a) 
      microswitches allowing direct access to environmental stimuli, (b) combinations 
      of microswitches and voice output communication devices (VOCAs) allowing stimulus 
      access and calls for caregivers' attention, respectively, and (c) computer 
      presentations of stimulus options and microswitches allowing choice among those 
      options and access to them.
