Product Description
Professionals can learn a great deal about young children's emerging language and communication skills by consulting the ones who know the children best: their parents or caregivers. Now, with the CDIs and their Spanish adaptation, the Inventarios, professionals can tap into parents' invaluable day-to-day knowledge -- and respond to legislation that requires parental input in child evaluations. Top language researchers developed these standardized, parent-completed report forms -- CDIs for English speakers and Inventarios for Spanish speakers -- designing the forms to focus on current behaviors and on salient emergent skills and behaviors that parents can recognize and track. Both the CDIs and the Inventarios have three components: -- A "words and gestures" form. The CDI: Words and Gestures is for use with children ages 8-16 months, while Inventario I: Primeras Palabras y Gestos is for 8-18 months. In both the forms, the first part prompts parents to document the child's understanding of hundreds of early vocabulary items separated into semantic categories such as animal names, household items, and action words. Parents mark the words understood or used, and the forms yield separate indexes of words understood and words produced. The second part of each form asks parents to record the communicative and symbolic gestures the child has tried or completed.
