Communication Observation Schedule (1992).

Priced at: $10
 

This manual provides for the structured observation of communication with a student who is deaf-blink and is moving from the pre-language level to the use of true words. The book provides educators with an instrument to facilitate the observation of a previously neglected level of communication, which relates language to communication, and recognizes "no behavior" as a reasonable response. The manual defines 12 communication modes and describes how to rate them using a videotape of student-teacher interactions. A copy of the instrument is included in the manual and may be photocopied for use by educators.
