Discuss Piaget’s stages of cognitive development and the implications for students with learning disabilities and
related mild disabilities.
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Piaget described a sequential progression of the maturation of cognitive skills. Piaget
described four stages: sensorimotor stage (ages birth to age 2); preoperational stage
(ages 2–7)? concrete operations stage (ages 7–11)? and the formal or abstract
reasoning stage (above age 11). The individual's ability to learn will depend on the
student's stage of maturation. A correlating factor is that schools may create learning
disabilities by making intellectual demands for which the student is not ready.
