Abstract
A study is currently being conducted at Utah State University's Exceptional Child Center to develop, and investigate the effectiveness of, a computer assisted instruction system designed for use with non-readers. The system will utilize the recently developed random access videodisc interfaced with a microcomputer. Software is being developed to utilize these new technological hardware advances. If the evaluation shows the system to be cost and instructionally effective it will provide a means of providing self-paced, individualized instruction to mentally handicapped non-readers without the direct attendance of the teacher and will provide an automated means of collecting, analyzing and reporting extensive student data.
