Abstract
An instructional materials model was constructed and employed as a perspective for a review of the literature. A need for an indirect evaluation technique for consumers at the post production level was identified. Consequently, a generic product evaluation system was developed and validated. Thirteen qualified educators were oriented and trained as three judge teams who estimated the developmental appropriateness of 239 DLM products. The teams provided feedback for product revision and supplementary use. The data had implications for long term planning, marketing techniques and new product development. The product evaluation system may be useful in the selection and modification of instructional materials for exceptional children.Keywords
