Hillside School, Cushing, OK.
Presented is the final evaluation report of a project designed to develop a prescriptive program for learning disabled children (grades 7-12) which included a screening/assessment program with 96 students and the writing and implementation of individual educational programs with 171 students. It is noted that in the area of research and development, a multi-media materials catalogue was produced and a 2-year evaluation design was implemented. Reported for the year 1974-75 is program evaluation involving a comparison of two treatment groups using atypical intervention strategies -- group counseling and biofeedback. Among tentative conclusions listed are that biofeedback training produced a consistent positive change in mathematical ability and a significant decrease in underlying anxiety, that biofeedback training produced marked gains in the level of Ss' study habits, and that group counseling produced the strongest gains in reading achievement scores.
