Problem Solving and the Learning Disabled: Looking for Answers with Computers

Peggy Healy Stearns, MAT

Peggy Healy Stearns is the District Computer Specialist for the Depew Public Schools and a doctoral student with a concentration in computer education at the State University of New York at Buffalo. She is also Assistant Coordinator for the Software Evaluation Project at the University of Buffalo and the co-developer of a soon-to-be-marketed problem solving software program. Address: Department of Learning and Instruction. 593 Baldy Hall, SUNY at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY 14260.

The results of a field-based review of several problem solving software programs are reported. Pertinent literature is integrated, serving as a basis for evaluating the programs. Although the software was generally successful in accomplishing its objectives, some recommendations are made as to how it might be better adapted to the specific needs of learning disabled students.
