Microcomputers in the Classroom: Teaching Students with Severe Handicaps to Use a Computer.

McGregor, Gail; Axelrod, Saul

Education and Treatment of Children, v11 n3 p230-38 Aug 1988

Three students (aged 14-15) with severe handicaps were trained in independent use of a microcomputer, using a variation of the total task chaining procedure. All students were able to complete all necessary steps for computer use in an average of 16 sessions, thus expanding their available instructional and recreational opportunities. (Author/PB)
