This report describes the goals, objectives, activities, and outcomes of a project developed at the University of New Mexico Children's Psychiatric Hospital's Mimbres School to demonstrate the use of the microcomputer as a tool for establishing positive communication between emotionally-disturbed children and their parents. The project was designed to involve the parents as active participants in the computer learning experiences of the children, who ranged in age from 4 to 14. It was found that participation with teachers, child care workers, clinicians, and parents in teaching/learning teams facilitated the development of self-worth among the emotionally-disturbed children. The report concludes with a description of requirements for replicating the project, highlighting the need for a full-time teacher coordinator. Included in the appendixes are demographic data on the hospital; a sample project teacher resume; a project time line; inservice staff workshop schedules; and examples of items purchased with grant funds, assessment tools, and written communications from the project.
