- Abstract
This study assessed the impact of automatically delivered stimulation on the activity level and mood (indices of happiness) of two students with multiple disabilities, during their use of a stationary bicycle and a stepper. The stimulation involved a pool of favorite stimulus events which were delivered automatically, through an electronic control system, while the students were active in using the aforementioned exercise tools. Data showed that stimulation had a positive impact on the overall level of activity and indices of happiness of both students. Practical implications and technical aspects of the intervention procedure are discussed.
