Abstract	This practicum involved the design and implementation of a 4-station computer learning laboratory to enhance the academic learning gains of two visually impaired, two hearing impaired, and two dyslexic students at the Gainesville (Florida) Job Corps Center. The learning laboratory was equipped with computer hardware and software to perform the functions of human surrogate readers, writers, and interpreters. Students were followed while preparing for the General Education Development (GED) examination. Students were given two simulated TABE (Test of Adult Basic Education) tests and a mock GED examination over the course of 4 months. The group that used the sensory-bridging equipment as an alternate modality scored significantly higher than their control counterparts. Appendices include a program brochure, results of reputability and evaluability assessments, budget information, and detailed results of the simulated tests. Contains five references. (DB)
