Curriculum Associates' BRIGANCE® Special Education Program Receives CASE Endorsement

The multi-component BRIGANCE Special Education program includes assessment, screening, and instructional tools that help special educators provide early and ongoing interventions for students with special needs. With the program, educators can meet IDEA requirements and address state and Common Core standards; develop measurable goals and objectives for IEPs and plan individualized instruction; and monitor student progress.

Included in the BRIGANCE Special Education program is the Inventory of Early Development (IED) III (both criterion-referenced and norm-referenced) to assess students' developmental skills; the Comprehensive Inventory of Basic Skills (CIBS) II (both criterion-referenced and norm-referenced) to assess students' academic skills; and the Transition Skills Inventory (TSI) and Transition Skills Activities to identify students' transition needs and build key transition skills. The BRIGANCE Screens III, a line of developmental screening tools for birth through first grade, are also available. Finally, the BRIGANCE Online Management System offers comprehensive data management and reporting associated with each component of the BRIGANCE program.

"For more than 30 years, the BRIGANCE family of products has helped special educators identify students in need of additional support and services. The endorsement from the CASE organization further solidifies the impact that these products have – and will continue to have – in the special education setting," said Rob Waldron, President and CEO of Curriculum Associates. "As we continue to expand and improve upon these trusted resources, we remain committed to providing educators with the most comprehensive and user-friendly tools on the market."
