Abstract	This literature review focuses on the characteristics of children who are technology supported and on the experiences of families who have undertaken home care of such children. It presents information on: (1) medical, cognitive, physical, and socio-emotional characteristics of the children; (2) experiences within the family; and (3) family interactions with agencies and persons outside of the family. Definitions of "technology support" and "chronic illness" are provided. The nature and purposes of technology support (i.e., ventilators, intravenous nutrition, and long-term intravenous drug therapy) are discussed, as are the organicity/etiology of conditions creating technology dependence and prevalence estimates. Among other topics covered are demographics (age, gender, and ethnicities), duration of ventilator-dependence, prognosis, hospitalization, demographics of families, socio-emotional characteristics of families, parent-child relations, child rearing, spousal relationships, sibling relationships, extended family relationships, family interactions with medical/human services, model home care programs, home nursing care, a Model Day Care Facility for Children who are Technology-Supported, barriers to home care, family interactions with the educational system, school absenteeism, barriers to integration, family experiences with insurance/financing, family relationships with the community, and implications for research. Contains 88 references. (DB)
