Composition, Word Processing, and the Learning Disabled College Writer: An Annotated Bibliography.
Engen-Wedin, Nancy; Collins, Terence
The annotated bibliography presented in this document reflects the focus of the first year of a three-year federally funded research program intended to shed light on the writing processes of learning disabled college-aged writers. With special emphasis on the use of technology in creating workable, mainstreamed curricula, this bibliography incorporates studies about whether inexpensive microcomputers and commercially produced word-processing software can improve the attitudes and performance of learning disabled writers. The introduction provides an overview of the project and comments on the items included in the literature review. Annotated entries are coded according to one or more of the following categories: the role of microcomputers in mainstream writing instruction; characteristics of learning disabled college students; writing instruction for learning disabled college students, with special attention to applications on microcomputers; and writing-related career and vocational options for learning disabled college students.
