The second section reports on findings of a 1989 task force on transition procedures for mainstreaming of the physically impaired, including procedures for referral, eligibility, and placement, as well as "out of district" placement and several task responsibility matrices defining roles of the many support staff, adminstrators, family members, and educators who may be involved in the mainstreaming process. The third section presents guidelines for computer access observation, system design, and hardware/software selection including adaptive equipment. The fourth section covers expanded keyboard overlays highlighting story sequencing and assessment. The fourth section offers simple directions for setting up a Morse Code system appropriate to interfacing with any of several personal computer systems, with worksheets for Morse Code instruction.
