Burns, William H., VI – 1985
The study examined three questions regarding severely physically and communicatively handicapped children: (1) who are involved in developing and disseminating microcomputer technology? (2) what innovations are being researched, developed, and implemented? and (3) how is microcomputer technology being implemented by educators, administrators, and…

Peer reviewedSpiegel-McGill, Phyllis; And Others – Journal of Early Intervention, 1989
The study compared the effects of different play conditions (microcomputer, remote-control robot, or no toys) on the amount of time four dyads of handicapped/nonhandicapped children would interact during structured play. Results suggested that microcomputers may serve as social facilitators for children with significant social and language…

Horn, Eva; And Others – Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps (JASH), 1991
Three nonvocal students (ages 5-8) with severe physical handicaps were trained in scan and selection responses (similar to responses needed for operating augmentative communication systems) using a microcomputer-operated video-game format. Results indicated that all three children showed substantial increases in the number of correct responses and…

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…
