Teaching Multihandicapped Students to Make Simple Drawings: Use of a Computer-Aided Programme.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lancioni, G. E.; And Others – International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 1993
A computer program was developed to help train three multihandicapped (hearing losses, visual impairments, and mental handicaps) adolescent students to make simple drawings on paper. Students traced sample drawings on the computer using a lightpen. Improved freehand drawing performance was demonstrated following training for all three students.…

Teaching Computer-Based Spelling to Individuals with Developmental and Hearing Disabilities: Transfer of Stimulus Control to Writing Tasks.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stromer, Robert; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1996
Two adults with severe mental retardation and profound hearing loss were given computer-based instruction in spelling. Positive results transferred to a retrieval task in which the participant wrote a list of objects displayed, selected the objects from a shelf, and returned the objects to the table. The role of stimulus class in fostering the…

Behrmann, Mike; Lahm, Liz – 1983
The ability of at-risk and handicapped infants and toddlers to interact with microcomputers was studied. One research phase focused on the parameters (motor, language, and cognitive developmental levels) for using the microcomputer. The overall project examines eight levels of use culminating in using a menu driven program for making choices to…
