Series: British Journal of Developmental Disabilities no89 1999: 99-109.Publisher: 1999Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volume Subject(s): ACTIVITIES | PROFOUND INTELLECTUAL AND MULTIPLE DISABILITIES (PIMD) | THERAPIESSummary: Individuals with profound multiple (mental or motor) disabilities are an extremely heterogeneous group in terms of functional abilities and behavioural repertories. Due to the severity of mental and physical dysfunctions, and in many cases sensory dysfunctions as well, the majority of persons with profound multiple disabilities go to special day centres or live in an instititution where a day programme is part of their daily routine. The extent of their disabilities seriously limits these individuals' ability to carry out activities without support. Trained staff must set aside time for this purpose. Activities and therapies are usually incorporated in the days routine. But this study found that many planned activities and therapy sessions did not take place. [AJ].
