Abstract
Computer-assisted methods and apparatus for selecting and matching learning tools that possess developmental value with the individual characteristics of a child are disclosed. Commercially available products consisting of toys, games, books, and allied learning materials are analyzed and the data relating to the personal traits required to use the product, educational value of the product, learning value of the product, instructional variables required to use the product, and the description of the product is entered into and stored in a computer system. Information concerning a child'"'"'s sensory learning style preferences, hobbies and interests, academic conditions, medical conditions, social habits, emotional attitudes, and nutritional habits is entered into the computer system.
