Skills and the level of progress are delineated by: • developmental level —skills are arranged from easiest to hardest • level of environmental prompt —can be where the tester or test items are posi- tioned (e.g., in front, to the side, or in back of the child), a gestural prompt (e.g., handing an object to the child, pointing), or verbal cues (e.g., saying “Your turn,” asking a question) • level of adult-action prompt —subtle physical and visual prompts such as using hand-over-hand, patting the chest or arm, waiting with hand reaching out, waiting expectantly, and so forth SUBTESTS • Joint Attention—Requesting Objects • Social Interaction—Turn-Taking • Communicative Intent—Requesting Continuation of Actions

FCP-R: Functional Communication Profile–Revised Larry Irwin Kleiman AGES: 3-0 through adult TESTING TIME: 45 to 90 minutes ADMINISTRATION: Individual The FCP-R lets you account for some of the unique aspects of communication and the diversity among individuals with developmental and acquired delays. It addresses all communication possibilities and is not limited to oral language expression. Test items help fulfill the standards in state and federal regulations in the United States. The FCP-R yields an overall inventory of the individual’s communication abilities, mode of communication (e.g., verbal, sign, nonverbal, augmentative), and degree of indepen- dence. Clients are assessed and rated in the major skill categories of communication through direct observation, teacher and caregiver reports, and one-on-one testing. The FCP-R is appropriate for individuals who range between mild and profound deficits.
