Author's, vendor's, or publisher's description Solutions for determining and developing cognitive and language skills that consist of a book, assessment software kits, curriculum practice software bundles and professional development workshops. Stages is a seven-level developmental framework that describes a learner's cognitive and language abilities. Stages helps schools comply with alternate assessment mandates by providing an accessible way to assess learners with special needs. Stages also serves as a selection guide for curriculum activities (including both software and off-computer activities). The sequence of seven Stages is based on the work of Madalaine Pugliese, a nationally recognized authority in the fields of assistive and instructional technologies.
