(1) FCA1 in educationIn recent special education, more emphasis has been placed upon the Individual Educational Program(IEP). The IEP takes account of the characteristics and abilities of each child in the learning process. The Frame-type Computer Assisted Instruction (FCAI) program was developed to meet the individual developmental needs of normal children. This paper reports the application of the program for normal children to the handicapped in special education.(2) Developing Programs by utilizing the "Bi-Syllabic Word Test for Reading based on FCAI'We have examined the developmental process of phonemic awareness and syllabic segmentation among children who are learning to read. In our last paper (1996), we reported the "Bi-syllabic Word Test for Reading" which we developed for normal as well as for handicapped children. In this paper, we report two computer programs which utilize the "Bi-Syllabic Word Test based on FCAI."(3) Application of the FCAI" Bi-Syllabic Word Test" for Reading Program to Special EducationTwo case studies are also reported. One was on an attempt to develop language in a non-verbal child by using letters. The other was to develop language and reading for a boy with limited vocabulary and a few isolated letters to read. The concept of the Bi-Syllabic Word Test was found useful when trying to evaluate and plan a therapeutic program for these developmentally handicapped children.
