Abstract

When u~ed with physically handicapped and learning di~abled children, computer·b~ed LOGO activ ities can serve diagno~tic and therapeutic purposes, as well a.< provide insights into theories of knowledge repre~entation and cognitive functionina in general. The impact of LOGO nows from the active role taken by the Mudent~ in initiating and controlling their activities; from the ~pecifically spatial geometric emphasis of the!oe activitie~: from the ready availability of problem-~lution patfor scrutiny by the. ~tudent and by the teacher; and from the prosthetic value of the computer in providing a means for the upres~ion of otherwise trapped intellisence in this population.
