The CSBS DP(TM) Test Kit contains the testing and scoring materials
for the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental
Profile (CSBS DP(TM)), 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(TM), CSBS DP(TM) is shorter and
faster and lets early intervention professionals begin
identification earlier. CSBS DP(TM) is an ideal starting point for
planning IFSPs, determining the efficacy of interventions,
documenting changes in a child's behavior over time, and
identifying areas for further assessment. The CSBS DP(TM) Test Kit
includes: Infant-Toddler Checklist: In 5-10 minutes, caregivers
answer 24 multiple-choice questions grouped into seven language
predictor clusters: Emotion and Eye Gaze, Communication, Gestures,
Sounds, Words, Understanding, and Object Use. Then, a professional
combines the clusters to yield scores in three composite
categories: social, speech, and symbolic. The Checklist can also be
used to monitor development every 3 months between the ages of 6
and 24 months. Caregiver Questionnaire: If the Checklist indicates
a need for further evaluation, caregivers complete this
easy-to-read four-page questionnaire, which measures in more detail
the same seven clusters. It takes approximately 15-25 minutes and
is designed to be given or mailed to the caregiver before the child
is brought in for the Behavior Sample. Behavior Sample: This
face-to-face sampling procedure takes 30 minutes to conduct and
simultaneously score. Professionals lead a brief warm-up with the
child and then sample behavior in various contexts: communicative
temptations, book sharing, symbolic play probes, language
comprehension probes, and constructive play probes. The Behavior
Sample measures 20 scales that comprise the social, speech, and
symbolic composites, and professionals record the presence or
absence of 20 types of behavior on a scoring worksheet. Caregiver
Perception Rating: This one-page form asks caregivers to compare
the child's behavior during the assessment to the child's typical
behavior. CSBS DP(TM) Manual: The Manual includes instructions for
administering and scoring the profile, technical data on
standardization and norming, and guidelines for interpreting a
child's CSBS DP(TM) for screening and evaluation. Instructional
Videos: These two videos demonstrate how to collect a Behavior
Sample and complete the scoring worksheets as well as explain key
developmental terms. Available separ ately or as part of the CSBS
DP(TM) Complete Kit is the CSBS DP(TM) Toy Kit. It contains the
familiar, action-based play materials used to entice spontaneous
communication during the Behavior Sample. (Owners of CSBS(TM) All
the toys needed to implement CSBS DP(TM) are included in the
CSBS(TM) Toy Kit.) This test kit is part of CSBS DP(TM), 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. Learn more about the whole CSBS DP system.
