1. TURN ON - OFF: Develop switch activated by limited body movements
2. COMMUNICATE: Develop instruments to express YES / NO; I'M THIRSTY - I WOULD LIKE COFFEE; I WANT TO GO OUT; I WANT TO REST.
3. MARK TIME: Develop tools to indicate the time, its passing and to guide the sequence of activities, times of the day.
4. MOVE YOURSELF: Develop tools which identify obstacles and give indications of full / empty.
