The Advantages of Using Microcomputer-Based Assessment with Moderately and Severely Handicapped Individuals

Progress in providing coordinated and appropriate services for moderately and severely handicapped individuals is greatly facilitated by the use of functional assessment tools. These tools, which document living, working, and leisure skill levels, can facilitate communication between educational and rehabilitation service providers. The use of computer technology can improve the assessment process by providing instruments which are more accurate, less time-consuming, and more flexible than conventional print assessment instruments. In addition, computerized assessment tools, with their networking capabilities, can facilitate the development of data bases for specific groups of disabled individuals, and this, in turn, can enhance systematic programming on a statewide or regional basis. This paper details the advantages of computerized assessments and examines one such instrument, the Functional Skills Screening Inventory.
