Abstract	The Computer Assisted Diagnostic Prescriptive Program (CADPP) is a customized databased curriculum management system which permits the user to load the following into a filing/retrieval software system: (1) learning characteristics of individual students (e.g., age, instructional level, learning modality); (2) skill-oriented characteristics of available instructional materials (i.e., readability level, interest level, modality required); and (3) a skills/concepts list. Once these files are loaded, the CADPP cross-references them to the match characteristics of students and materials, and produces customized prescriptions for each participating student. CADPP diagnostic components include the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) series, developed to allow for a usable and accurate means of diagnosing a student's needs in basic reading and mathematics skills. The CRT results inform teachers of skill areas that are deficient for each pupil, and this information is used to develop personalized educational plans for individual students. The software program can be used with an APPLE II+, IIe, and TRS 80 Models II and IV; two disk drives are required. The program disk has a capacity for 150 skills in two curriculum areas, 100 students per teacher, 150 prescriptions per skill, and 1,600 prescriptions per disk. The descriptive pamphlet includes a description of the National Diffusion Network Division, which makes validated educational programs available for adoption by schools, colleges, and other institutions; a CADPP adoption agreement; sample costs connected with the adoption of CADPP; and a CADPP awareness session participant feedback form and material rating form. Validated by the National Institute of Education and the U.S. Office of Education in 1979, the system is currently used in over 500 schools in 35 states. Its greatest utilization has been with ECIA Chapter 1 students and special education, basic skills competency, gifted and talented, and adult basic education programs. (JB)
