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.
