目标。本研究的目的是探讨电动机动骑乘玩具对复杂发育迟缓幼儿参与行为的影响。方法采用单被试撤退设计，研究电动机动骑乘玩具对包括痉挛四肢瘫痪在内的复杂发育迟缓儿童的自主运动发生、与他人接触和情感的影响，干预包括让儿童在体育课和户外课间休息时在学校环境中使用电动机动骑乘玩具。(B)似乎对开始与成人接触有一些影响，对于一个儿童，消极的成人开始和积极的同伴开始；和(C)对积极影响的数量没有明显的影响。结论：对于一些有严重运动障碍和发育迟缓的幼儿来说，使用电动移动设备可能会增加自由游戏中自我发起的动作发生的次数。
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of a powered mobility riding toy on the participation behaviors of young children with complex developmental delays.METHOD. A single-subject withdrawal design was used to study the effects of powered mobility on child-initiated movement occurrences, initiation of contact with others, and affect, The participants were two young children with complex developmental delays, including spastic quadriplegia, The intervention consisted of having the children use a powered mobility riding toy in their school settings during gym class and outdoor recess.RESULTS. Primary findings were that use of the powered mobility riding toy (a) increased the number of self-initiated movement occurrences; (b) appeared to have some effect on initiation of contacts with adults and, for one child, negative adult initiations and positive peer initiations; and (c) did not have a clear impact on the amount of positive affect.CONCLUSION. For some young children with severe motor impairments and developmental delay, use of a powered mobility device may increase self-initiated movement occurrences during free play.
