Trauma to the lower genitourinary tract in children and adolescents has been a rare occurrence. However, with the advent of pediatric trauma centers, more of these injuries are now being seen and evaluated. Although trauma to the genitourinary tract alone is an uncommon cause of death, trauma centers are seeing more children in which decisions regarding the management of the genitourinary tract must be made. Most injuries that have been reported have been secondary to blunt trauma such as straddle injuries, falls, or motor vehicle accidents. Recently, two cases of lower genitourinary tract trauma have been seen associated with the current fad of break dancing.

Microcomputers offer the potential for increasing the effectiveness of language intervention for school-age children and adolescents who have language-learning disabilities. One promising application is in the treatment of students who experience difficulty comprehending figurative expressions, an aspect of language that occurs frequently in both spoken and written contexts. Although software is available to teach figurative language to children and adolescents, it is our feeling that improvements are needed in the existing programs. Software should be reviewed carefully before it is used with students, just as standardized tests and other clinical and educational materials are routinely scrutinized before use. In this article, four microcomputer programs are described and evaluated. Suggestions are then offered for the development of new types of software to teach figurative language.
