Allegro: A Case of Computer Support in a Rural Setting.
Nicassio, Frank J.; And Others
This article describes Allegro, a computer-assisted report writing procedure developed by a rural school psychology staff to aid in the rapid development and creation of high quality psycho-educational reports. The program's structure, procedural steps, and function are detailed and examples of the program structure are provided through printouts from the Allegro Manual disk. Briefly discussed are field-test and blind-study results which indicate that Allegro is conserving up to 70% of staff time expended on report writing as well as producing documents that are judged to be of higher communicative quality than hand-written reports. A list of references completes the paper. (Author/JB)
