STAGES

=[|STAGES]=

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.
