"Laureate's
new Sterling Editions offer an enhanced world of learning for my language-disordered
clients. Optimized Intervention® adjusts the lesson presentation
to meet the individual needs of my students. The enriched language of
the Zot routines extends language development. As always, Laureate software
provides accessibility for students with cognitive and physical challenges.
Finally, the Sterling Administration System offers session-specific and
cumulative data collection making it easier to provide successful and
motivating experiences for my clients."
"As an instructor for graduate study in Assistive Technology, I am continuously searching for exemplary models of software for class demonstrations of best practices. Laureate's new Sterling Editions software has become one of my models.
"There are three reasons why I have made this selection.
"First, as is standard with Laureate software, Sterling Editions provide language intervention grounded within a sound researched foundation. Special needs software that has been developed in this way is truly exceptional.
"Secondly, Sterling Editions have embedded features that reflect current trends in rehabilitation and education. Features such as customization options, individualized record keeping, progress report generation, and alternative assessment components provide service providers with client/student data in a professional tool that can directly impact program planning and implementation.
"Finally,
the Optimized Intervention® feature of Sterling Editions extends
the use of this software to professionals outside the speech and language
profession by automatically testing and designing an instructional program
based on appropriate speech and language practice; this makes the software
ideal for cross-discipline instruction.
"I
would highly recommend the Sterling Edition series as a training tool
for assistive technology professionals in higher education."
