Using Computers to Help Children with Learnign Disabilities
Using computers to help learning disabled children improve their academic skills has a great deal of intuitive appeal. Computers should be excellent “teachers” for these children because they repeat a task as many times as necessary without becoming impatient, and they provide immediate feedback. Computers also have an inherent appeal to most children so much so, in fact, that in many scjools where children have access to computers and Internet, loss of computer time is a potent penalty for unacceptable behavior. Research supports informal observations that children appear highly motivated when using a computer and that they stay on task for long periods of time.</p>
Results of early studies on the use of computers to help children with learnign disabilities were equivocal. Recently, however, well controlled studies have shown that computer progrmas designed to improve phonics skills in reading disabled children can produce impressive results.In Florida, for example, a doctor demostarted substantial gain in decoding skills in a group of dyslexic children as a result of a ten week program which involved just fifteen minutes a day for five days a week.</p>
In Colorado a group of doctors used computer assisted instruction methods with young children at high risk for learning disabilities. The results of their research offer the promise that through early intervention many children who would otherwise struggle and fall behind in reading can go on to become normal readers.</p>
