| Language |
|
This section examines the child's ability to perform the following function
of language: reporting, questioning, predicting and relating information;
following and giving directions; describing actions, sources of actions and
functions; and expressing needs, feelings, and preferences. |
|
This area includes items which address both expressive and receptive aspects
of language development. Expressive (E) items are those which require verbal
responses. Receptive (R) items are those which do not require verbal responses. To record the presence or absence of a skill, mark (+) or (-) in the appropriate R or E column.
|
|
While many items involve both receptive and expressive language skills, the
Expressive (E) - Receptive (R) distinction is especially relevant for non-verbal
handicapped children. It is important that the teachers use creativity in
designing appropriate alternative procedures/materials to elicit responses
(i.e. nodding, blinking, pointing) from the non-verbal child. Any modifications
should be noted in the "COMMENTS" section. |
