The four reports grouped together here are: (1) "Report on Computer Hardware in Schools and Units for the Visually Handicapped, 1983" (Paul Blenkhorn and Michael Tobin); (2) "Micro-Computers with the Deaf-Blind" (Paul Blenkhorn); (3) "Some Guidelines for Evaluating and Adapting C.A.L. Software with the Visually Handicapped--Using a Screen" (Paul Blenkhorn and Michael Tobin); and (4) "Teletext for the Visually Impaired" (Paul Blenkhorn and Brian Payne). All four reports address the use of educational technology with visually impaired students. In the first report, results are presented from a survey on computer hardware completed by 32 schools and units in the United Kingdom containing visually handicapped children. The distribution of hardware and the models of computers used are depicted. In the second report, ways in which microcomputers are used with deaf blind students are described. Applications are noted for students with some vision as well as students with no vision. The third report offers guidelines for evaluating and adapting computer-assisted instruction software with visually handicapped students. Factors in the program, including the students' perceptual skills, are considered along with factors outside the program, such as reproduction of supplementary materials in braille or large print. The final report discusses access to Teletext, an information service transmitted over the airwaves together with normal television programs. (CL)
