We describe a computer-based method for the special education of deaf children in their stage of expanding an initial vocabulary; the method uses a symbolic keyboard to facilitate real-time communication between the deaf child and the machine. The lack of auditory feedback is partially compensated by using visual and proprioceptive sensorial modalities as alternative representations of words and concepts. To illustrate the use of the computer with display and symbolic keyboard we comment on a program for the teaching of spatial relationships. The same method is used in teaching the structure of sentences and other conventional educational material such as Geography and Physics.
我们描述了一种基于计算机的方法，用于聋儿在扩展初始词汇阶段的特殊教育；该方法使用符号键盘来促进聋儿与机器之间的实时交流。通过使用视觉和本体感觉感官模态作为单词和概念的替代表示，部分弥补了听觉反馈的缺失。为了说明带有显示器和符号键盘的计算机的使用，我们对一个关于空间关系教学的程序进行了评论。同样的方法也用于教授句子结构以及其他传统教育材料，如地理和物理。
