Vacc, Nancy N.
Exceptional Children, v54 n2 p156-65 Oct 1987
Evaluation of letters written by four mildly mentally handicapped eighth grade males either by hand or by word processor indicated: longer letters and more revisions when the word processor was used; higher mean number of words written per unit time when handwritten; and no difference in holistic evaluation of letter quality.
