“…Digital technologies targeted physical limitations arising from low muscle tone, and small nasal cavity from as the phenotypical characteristics in children with Down Syndrome as most prominent. Decreased muscle tone in DS lead to cognitive delays which relate to deficits in areas of exploratory learning [69]. Similarly, difficulty of production of understandable speech sounds is also because of low muscle tone in the tongue and lips, while the small nasal leads to nasal congestion, enlarges tonsils which affect intelligibility and fluency of speech and language [72].…”

“…The child was able to mirror physical activities of parents through observations and in return the parents and stakeholders received feedback from the child on discomforts and needs. This approach can be beneficial for other children with vision and hearing impairments in their overall development process [69].…”

Cycles of miscommunication often occur within the caregiver–child dyad when a child has a visual or visual-and-intellectual disability, influencing sensitive and responsive caregiver behaviour and child happiness. This study aims to examine the efficacy of using interactive technology, the Barti-mat, to promote sensitive and responsive caregiver behaviour, specifically mirroring behaviour, and increase the happiness of children with a visual or visual-and-intellectual disability. The secondary aim is to examine the social validity of the Barti-mat. A mixed-method approach was used, combining quantitative data from a multiple within-series single-case design and qualitative data comparing play-as-usual with play on the Barti-mat. Eleven caregiver–child dyads participated in a home-based study. No significant effects were found for Attunement nor for Valence. Significant improvements were found for Total Mirroring, Happiness, and Arousal. Overall, the caregivers enjoyed using the Bart-mat and were enthusiastic about the development of specialized play material for children with visual impairments. Results of the current study suggest that the Barti-mat can act as catalyst for caregiver mirroring behaviour and improve the happiness of a child with a visual or visual-and-intellectual disability. Caregivers were generally motivated to use and recommend the Barti-mat again. Minor product improvement recommendations were made. The Barti-mat is appropriate for a diverse group of caregivers and children with a visual or visual-and-intellectual disability and would be a good adjunct to preventive attachment-based interventions.
