Cognitive Development

Our research on cognitive development has been driven by a pragmatic approach, through which we observe the child's interactions with the physical world to determine the child's cognitive skills as demonstrated in home and school environments. Assessment tools and instructional strategies have emphasized the needs of children who have multiple disabilities including deafblindness. Available products are:
