  • Summary

    This chapter provides an overview of selected studies assessing technology-aided programs to promote independent leisure and communication or combinations of independent leisure, communication, and daily activities in people with mild to moderate intellectual disability often associated with sensory and/or motor impairments. The studies included in the overview offer an opportunity to describe the development of those programs, the technology solutions used to support them, and their outcomes in terms of participants’ independent performance. Following the presentation of the programs and their outcomes, the discussion focuses on three main issues: (a) effectiveness of the programs and methodological considerations, (b) accessibility and affordability of the programs, and (c) implications of the programs for professionals working in daily contexts. With regard to the last issue, an effort was made to examine ethical and moral questions that may accompany the possible decisions of professionals to adopt those programs in daily contexts.
