Abstract
The increasing popularity of microcomputers in education is affecting special education. The potential instructional benefits of this medium for handicapped individuals are being increasingly explored. Due to problems which can exist with educational programs, it is necessary for those who are developing and/or evaluating software for purchase to carefully consider its educational compatibility, instructional design adequacy, and technical adequacy. This article presents and examines specific factors in each of these three areas as they relate to the development and/or evaluation of educational microcomputer software for handicapped learners.
