THE WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY PROGRAM: IMPLICATIONS OF THE FIRST DECADE

Abstract

Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, has provided special educational services to the learning‐disabled population since 1974. Among the particularly well‐developed aspects of its program are basic skills courses, special tutoring and test‐taking arrangements, an extensive library of taped textbooks, and counseling. The nature of the population that uses these services, how they analyze their own strengths and weaknesses, and the components of Wright's program that are most valuable to them are described.
