SCRIPT : student communication repair inventory & practical training
(LSDHH DVD)

Includes bibliographical references (p. 91)

"Communication breakdowns occur whenever the speaker is not understood by the listener. Students with hearing loss, language learning issues or autism typically do not spontaneously learn communication repair strategies at the same rate or to the same level as students with typical development. These students can benefit from direct teaching of communication repair skills, which includes practice focused on their application in real-world situations. The Student Communication Repair Inventory and Practical Training (SCRIPT) is a collection of materials specifically created to identify a student's level of communication repair skill development, systematically teach new skills, and foster use in everyday situations. The SCRIPT materials are intended for students with developmental ages as young as five and extending through adolescence. The SCRIPT program develops students' communication repair skills at home and in the classroom. These repair skills begin with recognizing the causes of communication breakdown, the student's constant role as a listener in the classroom and the importance of actively correcting communication breakdown."--Back cover.
