In early 2006, the Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS) conducted a national field-test of a new GEMS space science curriculum package developed for use with middle school students. During this field-test, we modified a subset of the curriculum materials for use by special needs students, to be delivered via computer mediated instruction. These materials were implemented in a subset of the field-test classrooms and LHS collected pre- and post-test data for each unit. This data was analyzed to determine if students in the classrooms using the modified materials scored differently than students in the larger assessment data base. Data was disaggregated to measure the impact on students with special needs, as evidenced by individualized education plans (IEPs). Results suggest that many students, not just those with special needs, demonstrate greater achievement gains using materials modified using the principles of best practice for special needs students.
