-DESCRIPTION-           PRE-MOD II is a behavior management diagnostic tool
                        for the teacher or specialist working with children
                        who are mildly to moderately handicapped.  It is
                        also applicable to slow and non-exceptional
                        learners in regular classrooms.  PRE-MOD II covers
                        the following maladaptive behaviors: student uses
                        abusive/provocative language without provocation,
                        acts physically and/or verbally aggressive, is non-
                        compliant, is off-task/inattentive, engages in
                        disruptive behavior, is withdrawn, is unable to
                        accept appropriate criticism from others, takes
                        items without asking.  This program stresses a
                        cognitive as well as a behavioral approach to
                        behavior management.  It provides a printed beliefs
                        inventory for each maladaptive behavior.  The
                        manual deals not only with the use of the software
                        but with behavior management techniques, suggested
                        interventions, and sample assessments.  All
                        prerequisite and performance objectives are on the
                        same disk.

-DESCRIPTION-           MONEY SKILLS is designed to teach and provide
                        practice in the counting of coins.  The Series of
                        five sequential lessons begins with counting a
                        single type of coin (pennies, nickels, dimes, or
                        quarters).  It Progresses to groups of two, three
                        and four types of coins up to 99 cents.  It also
                        gives practice in deciding whether a group of coins
                        is enough to buy a specified item.  New examples
                        are generated each time the lesson is run.
                        Students have two chances to answer correctly.  A
                        management system stores student performance data
                        including missed examples for later review by the
                        teacher.

-DESCRIPTION-           SHAPE MATCHING is designed to assist
                        developmentally delayed learners and preschoolers
                        in pre-academic and early cognitive skills.  The
                        program teaches the recognition of six basic
                        shapes:  cross, square, circle, triangle, star
                        and semi-circle.  Shape matching is typically
                        considered a prerequisite to reading and is
                        frequently classified as an indicator of
                        "reading readiness".  The keyboard response
                        requirements of the program are as simple as
                        possible.  Only the space bar and the return
                        key are necessary to interact with the computer.
                        The basic task of the user in this program is to
                        match shapes.  The task varies in difficulty as a
                        function of incorrectly matched distractors.
                        Throughout the program the screen format is the
                        same, with shapes to be matched always on the
                        bottom of the screen.

-DESCRIPTION-           SAID is a series of microcomputer programs to help
                        increase word skills for developmentally delayed
                        learners and preschoolers.  There are four
                        programs in the package.  The SAY AS I DO program
                        uses an errorless procedure with a fading/shaping
                        program to train recognition skills of five target
                        words.  All words in each lesson are shown with a
                        picture.  As the user recognizes the target words
                        the picture cues are faded.  Eventually, as the
                        user progresses, only the printed word is dis-
                        played.  Target words are:  cup, bus, spoon,
                        toilet, and chair.  ASTROWORDS uses a word game
                        format to engage the users in an exercise that
                        requires them to find the missing letter that
                        will complete the target word.  User is given
                        four space ships and a limited amount of time
                        to identify the missing letter and beam it up to
                        the target word.  The CRANE GAME uses the same
                        format to engage users in a word matching
                        activity.  The target word is superimposed over
                        the crane girders at the top of the screen.
                        Selection words scroll across the bottom of the
                        screen on a conveyor belt.  User selects the
                        matching word by pressing the select button on
                        the joystick.  New words are presented by
                        pressing the scroll button on the joystick.  The
                        STUDENT DATA disk is used to store user data
                        on the other three programs.  Information can be
                        sent to the monitor or to a printer to preview.

-DESCRIPTION-           LOGO LEARNING WITH NUMBERS consists of 12 programs
                        written in LOGO.  11 of these 12 make use of
                        "turtle graphics" in interactive programs that
                        present practice in number recognition and whole
                        number operations.  The first two, FINDNUMBER and
                        NEXTNUMBER, help the user learn to identify numbers
                        and learn number sequence.  The next four, ADD,
                        SUB, MULT, and DIV use large turtle graphics
                        numbers to present practice problems in equation
                        form.  The next four, ADD.C, SUB.C, MULT.C, and
                        DIV.C present problems in the more classic form.
                        All of these eight programs allow setting the
                        largest number to be used.  They also erase wrong
                        numbers until the correct one is given.  In the
                        program WRITENUMBER it is possible to write
                        customized addition and subtraction problems in
                        equation form.  The last program, GUESS, is a LOGO
                        version of the well-known computer game--Guess the
                        Number.  At any time the regular features of LOGO
                        and its turtle graphics can be used.

-DESCRIPTION-           LOGO LEARNING WITH WORDS consists of eight programs
                        written in LOGO.  Seven of these eight programs
                        make use of "turtle graphics" to present practice
                        in letter recognition and to give practice in
                        reading and spelling.  The first program, LETTERS,
                        helps the user learn to identify the letters of
                        the alphabet.  NEXTLETTER helps teach the alphabet
                        sequence.  WORDS is a program that draws single
                        words on the screen for reading practice.  There
                        are fifteen lists of words on the disk and
                        additional lists can be created.  In OPPOSITES
                        the user learns pairs of words with opposite
                        meanings.  In PHRASES short three-word sentences
                        and phrases are drawn on the screen and
                        additional lists of phrases may be added.  The
                        program WRITE is like having a LOGO typewriter for
                        writing words or sentences.  In the program
                        READNUMBER the connection between the written
                        number word and the number itself is presented.
                        The last program, added as a bonus,
                        is a version of the famous LOGO program "INSTANT"
                        which controls the movement of the turtle with
                        single key commands.  Regular features of LOGO
                        and its turtle graphics are able to be used at
                        any time also.

-DESCRIPTION-           DRUGS:  WHO'S IN CONTROL is the second disk in a
                        two disk series.  It is designed to reinforce
                        students' understanding by giving them the chance
                        to apply their knowledge about drugs.  Working in
                        groups of up to six, students role play and make
                        decisions about drug-related situations presented
                        by the program.  As the activity progresses, the
                        computer selects new situations for each group
                        based on its previous decisions.  The computer's
                        role is to stimulate activity while the teacher
                        focuses attention on group discussion and decision
                        making.

-DESCRIPTION-           ALCOHOL, AN EDUCATIONAL SIMULATION--THE PARTY is a
                        program designed to aid in decision making by
                        presenting a simulation of a party.  Students enter
                        their own personal data (sex, age, weight and other
                        facts) into the computer, providing for an
                        assessment of their particular reaction to
                        alcohol.  The students attend a simulated party
                        making decisions on whether to drink, how much to
                        drink, and when to leave.  They then witness the
                        results of that decision on themselves and others.
                        A tutorial follows the simulation and reviews basic
                        concerns and facts.  A quiz is also included.

-DESCRIPTION-           BODY SYSTEMS II is a series of programs that use
                        graphics and text to teach anatomy.  All units
                        include quizzes and a management component that
                        records and analyses scores.  Each unit also
                        contains a dictionary.  The programs are able to
                        recognize correct responses that are not spelled
                        correctly and prompt the student to correct it.
                        Titles in the series are:  "The Endocrine System:
                        The Body in Balance," "The Nervous System:  Our
                        Information Network," and "The Blood System:  A
                        Liquid of Life."
