This helpful manual guides professionals through the process of administering, scoring, and interpreting the _Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental Profile (CSBS DP™)_, an easy-to-use, norm-referenced screening and evaluation tool that measures the communicative competence of children with a functional communication age of 6 to 24 months and a chronological age of 6 months to 6 years. The manual includes:
- information on how and why _CSBS DP™_ was developed and refined
- detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to administer and score each part of _CSBS DP™:_ the _Infant-Toddler Checklist,_ the _Caregiver Questionnaire,_ and the _Behavior Sample_
- a chapter on the technical characteristics of _CSBS DP™_, including standardization, reliability, and validity
- helpful tips on putting caregivers at ease and encouraging the most communication from very young children
- an extensive companion to the _CSBS DP™_ tutorial videotapes, including completed Behavior Samples for the six children shown and comments on the sampling and scoring decisions on the forms
- guidelines, case studies, and sample letters to parents that help professionals interpret and report the results of _CSBS DP™_
With the clear instructions in this manual—reinforced by practical tips, charts, case studies, and scoring practice—professionals will use _CSBS DP™_ accurately and confidently with the children and families they serve.
Available separately or as part of the _CSBS DP™ Complete Kit_ are the other materials required to conduct a _CSBS DP™_ assessment.
This manual is part of _CSBS DP™_, an easy-to-use, norm-referenced screening and evaluation tool that helps determine the communicative competence (use of eye gaze, gestures, sounds, words, understanding, and play) of young children. _CSBS DP_ is **an ideal** starting point for IFSP planning and can be used as a guide to indicate areas that need further assessment.
