How much do your students comprehend when given information through total communication? Do they understand information better in noise? What about information given verbally only? If you want clear cut data on their best receptive language mode, then this is the tool for you!! The teacher/clinician reads 4 short passages and asks questions in different modes of communication-total communication, sign language, orally with noise and orally without noise. (Free passages and questions are available on readworks.org and k5learning.org). After scoring the student's answers, conclusions can be drawn about a student's preferred receptive language modality. This data can be used to justify interpreter services, the need for DHH instruction or to give accommodations for noisy classroom situations.
