Tampa, United States – May 7, 2018 /PressCable/ —

Author Karen L. Anderson, PhD has updated her highly successful book that helps teachers and parents of children with hearing disabilities. The first edition of the 134-page book introduced Anderson’s step-by-step training program called Student Communication Repair Inventory and Practical Training (SCRIPT).

Anderson’s website specializes in creating resources to help children with hearing loss. Education professionals and parents can find in-depth information about subjects ranging from using amplification devices in the classroom to self-advocacy and legal issues. The website is also a valuable resource for anyone with language learning delays, social issues such as autism, or childhood learning issues of any kind.

Repairing Communication Breakdowns in Everyday Situations, Student Communication Repair Inventory and Practical Training (SCRIPT) is the second edition of SCRIPT and is more than a comprehensive collection of information for teachers and parents to help children identify and use communication repair strategies. It provides means to identify communication repair issues, a concise, step-by-step training program featuring descriptions of what to do, as well as videos showing how to do it. There also are ready-made materials to use with students.

While SCRIPT is especially helpful for deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) students, education professionals will find the actionable information extremely useful for use in educational programs aimed at students with any sort of communication breakdown issues—such as those with learning disabilities and children on the ASD spectrum.

The book is segmented into three parts.

1. Assessment, familiarization, demonstration, and specific practices to successfully respond and assist when a child is not understood by others.

2. Specific practices—including critical thinking and role play—to assist children with hearing loss who do not understand what has been requested.

3. The implementation of the SCRIPT process strategies.

Anderson’s 134-page book includes 37 downloadable files, as well as 10 pages of inventory stimuli. It’s an excellent companion piece for Building Skills for Success in the Fast-Paced Classroom, which introduces the concept of SCRIPT. This second edition builds on the introductory materials for a clearer, faster, and more focused implementation.

You can find an overview of Student Communication Repair Inventory and Practical Training (SCRIPT) here. It also provides a table of contents.
