The manual includes:

- a concise question-and-answer introduction to _CSBS™_

- clear guidelines on rating, summarizing, and interpreting scores
- technical data about _CSBS™,_ including information about standardization, scaling and norming, reliability, and validity
- helpful tips on planning individualized interventions

Filled with tables, charts, and checklists that summarize key points, clarify technical data, and help users organize the information and material they need, this manual will make it easier for professionals to use _CSBS™_ effectively with the children and families they serve.

This manual is 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.
