About Program STEPPE

About Dr Hedbring/Program STEPPE

Dr. Charles Hedbring is a Swedish-American who also enjoys permanent residency status in Australia. Dr Hedbring is the director of Program STEPPE, a remedial and special education computer consulting firm. Its primary purpose is to assist parents, clinicians, administrators, and practitioners apply appropriate computer technology to the learning needs of four specific groups of special learners: Mentally learning handicapped individuals; immigrants and others devoted to learning English as a second language; the elderly; and young 'normally developing' children, ages three through six. He has published several papers regarding his work, has created more than a dozen software programs, has completed a book-length manuscript, and continues to engage in a variety of activities relevant to the learning handicapped, the elderly, and English-language training.

Dr. Hedbring earned his doctorate at Columbia University in the early 1980s. His federally funded research led to the subsequent development of specialized instructional software (FACTS+) for the learning handicapped -- autistic, dyslexic, developmentally delayed, LD, mentally retarded, language delayed, and attention deficit disordered students. Subsequently, FACTS+ underwent revision in order to meet the learning needs of two other groups noted above -- the elderly and individuals learning English as a second language. By 1990 his publications and software development efforts had won FACTS+ a major national award in America for 'software excellence'. (Click here for large graphic summary of the FACTS+ Curriculum.)

Dr. Hedbring was a computer teacher of learning handicapped students and a computer coordinator with the New York City Board of Education for more than a decade. He has presented at dozens of conferences and conventions and was invited to conduct two lecture tours of Australia and one in New Zealand.
