The aim of this study is to review the international studies of multiple disabilities carried out and to give a point of view to new studies through evaluating the studies via an analysis of literature between 2010 and 2020 years. With that aim, scientific studies published over the last ten years in the world about children, their families, services and practices provided for them about multiple disabilities were reviewed. The criterion for determining the international articles examined was that they were published in refereed journals. The review was carried out at electronic databases. During reviewing, the databases of ERIC, EBSCO, Topic Search and Primary Search and international scientific journals were reviewed using the key words, special education, multiple disabilities, multiple impairments, severe and multiple disabilities between the years 2010-2020. Also, online indices were reached through the journals published in the related faculties of universities. 96 articles of the studies made in the world between 2010-2020 were examined. The articles reached were examined in terms of aim, participants, methods, limitations, findings, and suggestions, and they were explained detailedly in the findings part. It is hoped that the researches examined in this study will serve as a model for future studies about multiple inabilities and increase the scientific interest.

“…Specifically, within the enrichment/stimulation approach, the participant is considered as a passive recipient of the delivered stimulation. A wide amount of literature has been developed on the use of AT for adults, and a relevant number of review papers has been published on this specific topic [19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Conversely, few empirical evidences exist on the use of AT-based programs for children with TBI and postcoma outcomes [26][27].…”

We provide the reader with a mini review on the use of assistive technology-based interventions for recovering and fostering the functional engagement of children with traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injury, assistive technology, functional engagement, quality of life, recovery, and children were merged in Scopus database as keywords. The newest empirical evidences available were detailed and the clinical, educational, psychological, and rehabilitative implications of the findings were critically discussed. Some limitations and future research perspectives were additionally emphasized.

“…Microswitch activation in relation to an incoming message led the computer to read it out. Lancioni, Singh, O'Reilly, Sigafoos, Oliva, Buonocunto, et al . (2014 ) set up a program to teach two participants to access leisure (i.e., songs and videos) and communication (i.e., text messaging) options.…”

Intervention programs for people with acquired brain injury and extensive motor and communication impairment need to be diversified according to their characteristics and environment. These two studies assessed two technology-aided programs for supporting leisure (i.e., access to songs and videos) and communication (i.e., expressing needs and feelings and making requests) in six of those people. The three people participating in Study 1 did not possess speech but were able to understand spoken and written sentences. Their program presented leisure and communication options through written phrases appearing on the computer screen. The three people participating in Study 2 did not possess any speech and were unable to understand spoken or written language. Their program presented leisure and communication options through pictorial images. All participants relied on a simple microswitch response to enter the options and activate songs, videos, and communication messages. The data showed that the participants of both studies learned to use the program available to them and to engage in leisure and communication independently. The importance of using programs adapted to the participants and their environment was discussed.
