Creating a Computer-based Learning Environment for Physically Handicapped Children

Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop a computer-based learning environment for children physically handicapped by cerebral palsy and to study several issues related to the use of this environment for diagnostic, educational, and remedial purposes. The study is motivated by the desire to better understand the intellectual and motoric deficiencies of cerebral palsied children and to use this information in the development of teaching methods to accommodate each child's particular needs.
