CARE (Computer Assisted Renewal Education) is comprised of a series of computer-assisted instruction courses for training regular educators to teach handicapped children and two mobile laboratories for delivering the instruction to in-service teachers in their home community. (JA)

At Gallaudet College, additional computer hardware has been required to meet the computer needs of administration, faculty, and students. Used in such disciplines as English, mathematics, chemistry, and foreign language; computer assisted instruction has proven particularly helpful in teaching the deaf. (EMH)

Proceedings of the 1985 Invitational Research Symposium on Special Education Technology are summarized. The document contains a summary of each of 28 individual presentations, plus 10 research summaries submitted by individual participants, and 42 summaries on current technology-based research in special education. The first section reviews…

Ways that microcomputers can help educate disabled children are discussed. Three kinds of computer applications are explored: (1) special purpose equipment for particular physical handicaps; (2) standard equipment which can be easily modified; and (3) software for use with physically, mentally, or emotionally handicapped children. (PP)

Twelve papers are presented from a conference on special education and information technology. The conference featured 130 participants from 15 countries. The following titles and authors are represented: "Computer as a Communication Aid" (A. Fleischer); "Computers in Special Education" (F. Dalhoff); "Experiences Using Computer-Assisted…

The Interactive Videodisc for Special Education Technology Project being conducted at Utah State University is developing and field testing a system to provide computer-assisted instruction to mentally handicapped students. The system combines an industrial videodisc player, an Apple II microcomputer with two floppy disc drives, a color monitor…

Out of a need to provide self-paced instructional units, a project was developed combining various delivery techniques in a unique package designed to increase instructor efficiency and to allow students to proceed with learning as quickly as they are individually able. Although the project is not yet in final form, field testing has been…

Artificial intelligence techniques are used in computer programs to search out rapidly and retrieve information from very large databases. Programing advances have also led to the development of systems that provide expert consultation (expert systems). These systems, as applied to education, are the primary emphasis of this article.

The information is offered to acquaint teachers with the scope and nature of microcomputer applications in special education. A brief history of computers traces the changes in the past 40 years. Information on basic computer operations covers such aspects as data storage, the nature of application programs, disk drives, and floppy disks.…

Described is the methodological and technical background of a project dealing with computer-assisted instruction for deaf children, including computer hardware required and the procedures which will be followed. (BD)

Reports on computer-assisted instruction materials for use in special education settings (readiness level, reading, math, home and school, remedial/secondary, career/vocational education, programing/computer literacy, adaptive communication devices); professional application software (authoring systems, administration, testing); and software…

Presents a profile of resources pertaining to newly emerging computer-based technology for the handicapped together with a generic model which reflects the scope of computer applications within the fields of special education and rehabilitation. Selected resources that are highlighted include books, periodicals, and clearinghouses. Twenty…

This publication presents a summary of and index to the presentations given at the Association for Educational Data Systems (AEDS) Convention held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during May 5-8, 1981.
