Testimony from Learning Disabled College Writers on the Efficacy of Word Processing in their Writing Process. Working Paper.
Collins, Terence; Price, Lynda
As part of a three-year federally funded research program intended to shed light on the writing processes of learning disabled college-aged writers (with special emphasis on the use of technology in creating workable mainstreamed curricula), this paper records in an interview format the responses of students to the program, including word processing. The first section of the paper discusses the goals of the project, the equipment used (an Apple II computer and the word-processing product, an early version of "Magic Window)," and a sketch of each of the four students. The second section presents the unsummarized transcripts of learning disabled subjects discussing the capacities and limitations of the technology in accommodating their disabilities. (EL)
