Cowan L (1997) Computers in Child Care: conversion of a children's resource to multimedia and preliminary test results. New Technology in the Human Services Vol: 10(4) pp.14-19.
Abstract Use of computers in child care has long been a subject of debate in academic and professional circles. Despite considerable supposed benefits and applicability, computer based therapeutic resources for children are still not yet in widespread use. Reasons for this are explored, including commercial factors, hardware and cost issues and attitudes within the caring professions. Various developments now make therapeutic software production more realistic. One such development converting an existing children's resource to computer is described and early test results outlined.
