Publisher's Synopsis
The CSBS DP™ Test Kit contains the testing and scoring materials for 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 (use of eye gaze, gestures, sounds, words, understanding, and play) of children with a functional communication age of 6 to 24 months and a chronological age of 6 months to 6 years. Derived from the popular, norm-referenced CSBS™, CSBS DP™ is shorter and faster and lets early intervention professionals begin identification earlier. CSBS DP™ is an ideal starting point for planning IFSPs, determining the efficacy of inteventions, documenting changes in a child's behavior over time, and identifying areas for further assessment.Available separately or as part of the CSBS DP™ Complete Kit is the CSBS DP™ Toy Kit. It contains the familiar, action-based play materials used to entice spontaneous communication during the Behavior Sample. (Owners of CSBS™: All the toys needed to implement CSBS DP™ are included in the CSBS™ Toy Kit.)This toy kit 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.
