Opis

The "CSBS Record Forms and Caregiver Questionnaires, " sold in packages for easy re-ordering, are assessment forms for the "Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales (CSBS ), " one of the best measures of early communication in children 8 24 months (or up to 72 months if developmental delays are present).

The norm-referenced, standardized "CSBS " uses parent interviews and naturalistic sampling procedures to collect crucial information not just on language skills but also on often-overlooked communicative behaviors like communicative functions, gestures, rate of communicating, positive affect, and gaze shifts. "CSBS " takes just 50 75 minutes for child assessment and 60 75 minutes for in-depth scoring. Backed by technical data, "CSBS " is compatible with most developmental curricula in use today.

A package of "CSBS Record Forms and Caregiver Quesionnaires" includes:

• "25 Caregiver Questionnaires: " Caregivers complete this 15-minute qualitative questionnaire to provide background information. Their responses provide a baseline that helps professionals evaluate a child's performance.
• "25 Behavior Sample Record Forms: " Data from the "CSBS " behavior sample is tallied on this form and converted to scores on 22 five-point scales.
• "2 Outline Cards: " These reference cards outline sampling procedures step by step and give directions for scoring.

Available separately or as part of the "CSBS Complete Kit" are the other materials required to conduct a "CSBS " assessment." These forms are part of "CSBS ," a norm-referenced, standardized tool that uses parent interview and direct observation to assess infants, toddlers, and preschoolers at risk for communication delays and impairments. With 22 rating scales that accurately survey children's language skills and symbolic development, "CSBS" is backed by technical data and compatible with most developmental curricula in use today.
