A criterion-referenced inventory that assesses, on an individual basis, a student’s strengths or weaknesses in specific skill areas. The Brigance has been especially useful in support of Individual Educational Plan (IEP) development and program planning.
The revised 1999 edition spans grades pre-kindergarten through nine. Innovations include options for group administration, updated grade placement tests, updated skill sequences, and alternative assessment options for pretests and posttests.
An adaptation of the print inventory, the student braille edition includes tactile representations of diagrams where appropriate. The 23 subtests have been grouped into 14 braille modules.
Note: The student braille edition was designed to be used only in conjunction with the print inventory.
