Implementing Equal Access Computer Labs.
Clinton, Janeen; And Others
This paper discusses the philosophy followed in Palm Beach County to adapt computer literacy curriculum, hardware, and software to meet the needs of all children. The Department of Exceptional Student Education and the Department of Instructional Computing Services cooperated in planning strategies and coordinating efforts to implement equal access computer labs. The handout summarizes Palm Beach County's position on computer literacy for all students; summarizes the need to adapt the Palm Beach County Unified Curriculum for Computer Literacy for the different exceptionalities; provides guidelines for establishing criteria and systematic observation of students who may require adaptive devices; and provides a list of suggested hardware to place in an equal access lab with cost analysis comparisons and a partial list of suggested software to teach computer literacy to students in exceptional student education programs. Appended materials include a listing of adaptive peripheral devices for computers; a listing of Florida Instructional Technology Resource Centers; a list of applied technology resources; a selected ERIC bibliography; and a guide to special education technology prepared by Bob Reid and Diane Herrera Shepard, at the Developmental Center for Handicapped Persons, Utah State University.
