The Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental Profile™ CSBS DP™ is 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 children with a functional communication age between 6 months and 24 months (chronological age from about 6 months to 6 years).  Derived from the popular, norm-referenced CSBS™, the CSBS DP™ is shorter and faster and lets early intervention professionals begin identification earlier.
 
The tool should be administered by a certified speech-language pathologist, early interventionist, psychologist, pediatrician, or other professional trained to assess developmentally young children. The CSBS DP™ may be used as a starting point for IFSP planning and also as an outcome measure to help determine the efficacy of intervention. Additionally, it should be used as a guide to indicate areas that need further assessment.
 
You can use the CSBS DP™ for:
  •  Screening to identify children at risk for developmental delay or disability
  • Evaluation to determine if a child is delayed in social communication, expressive speech/language, and symbolic functioning
  • Evaluation to document changes over time in a child’s behavior
 
The CSBS DP™ measures seven language predictors in young children:
  • Communication
  • Gestures
  • Object Use
  • Sounds
  • Words
  • Understanding
  • Emotion and Eye Gaze
 
CSBS DP™ includes:
  • Infant-Toddler Checklist: In 5–10 minutes, caregivers answer 24 multiple-choice questions grouped into the seven language predictor clusters. Then, a professional combines the clusters to yield scores in three composite categories: social, speech, and symbolic.
  • Caregiver Questionnaire: Caregivers take 15–25 minutes to complete this 4-page questionnaire, which measures in more detail the same seven clusters.
  • Behavior Sample: The sampling procedure streamlines the one in the CSBS™ to 30 minutes. CSBS DP™ measures 20 scales that comprise the social, speech, and symbolic composites, and professionals judge the presence or absence of 20 types of behaviors.
  • Caregiver Perception Rating Form: This 1-page form asks caregivers to compare the child’s behavior during the assessment to the child’s typical behavior.
  •  Examiner’s Manual: Includes complete instructions and technical data.
  • Toy Kit: Includes familiar toys, books, and other play materials.
  • Videos: Demonstrate how to collect a Behavior Sample and complete scoring worksheets.
