Developing Math Automaticity in Learning Handicapped Children: The Role of Computerized Drill and Practice.

Hasselbring, Ted S.; And Others

Focus on Exceptional Children, v20 n6 p1-7 Feb 1988

Computer-based drill and practice can develop math automaticity in learning handicapped children, but only when prior training for developing a declarative knowledge network is implemented. An experimental math program called "Fast Facts" successfully developed the recall of basic math facts in 160 mildly handicapped and nonhandicapped students aged 7-14. (JDD)
