Abstract	The Division of High Schools Public Law 100.297 Instructional Support program serves eligible students with disabilities, ages 12-21, who have entered New York City public schools after attending state-operated or state-supported settings and who encounter difficulties adjusting to the high school special education environment. In 1993-94 the program served approximately 183 eligible certified students and an additional 681 students with similar needs from 85 schools. The program sought to improve student achievement through training with computerized instructional aids, including: the Franklin Speaking Dictionary, the Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, and the Macintosh laptop computer. Students were able to take these devices home to help with communication skills, school assignments, and use of reference materials. Teacher coaches trained and supported students and maintained regular contact with parents. Other program components included: a parent student conference, a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, two Macintosh laptop orientations for parents and students, and a weekend retreat with extensive training in the use of the Macintosh laptop computer. Appendices provide data from activity evaluation questionnaires and an evaluation summary concerning the program's theater activities. (SW)
