This paper describes an experimental vocational course for Richard (Rick) Pilgrim, a homebound quadriplegic. The goal of this program was to develop training techniques which might prepare Rick for a profession as a computer programmer. This paper relates how the training was performed using a voice-operated terminal, the successes and problems encountered, and how the course led to Rick's status as an entry-level computer programmer.
