Summary: The objectives of the study were to investigate first the benefits of ECU use and second how the users and helpers describe situations where ECU (Environmental Control Units) were used. Twenty-four users (77%) and 26 helpers (42%) returned the questionnaire. Results: Environmental Control Units were in use every day. The users did not encounter any major difficulties in their use, only two users mentioned some difficulties. Most of the cases the helpers did not need to provide assistance with the ECU. Help was needed in a few cases to adjust the switch to the right place. The most frequently mentioned command in both groups was door opening with twenty-one out of 23 users and 21 out of 24 helpers mentioned the door opening. Users mentioned a greater number of different commands than helpers.
