Design and Organization of the Communication Matrix
Results
The information that you provide is used to generate two major products: a one-page Profile and a Communication Skills List.
Profile
The Profile provides a one-page visual summary of the information that you have entered about an individual’s communication skills. The Profile contains 80 cells, each representing a particular message at a particular level of communicative behavior. Each cell is color coded to show skills as mastered, emerging, not used or surpassed.
Communication Skills List
The Communication Skills List simply lists each message (such as 'Obtains More of Something'), the categories of behavior that the individual uses to communicate that message (such as Body Movements or Facial Expressions), the specific behaviors used under each category (such as Leg Movements or Smile) and the level of mastery (Mastered or Emerging). This list shows you exactly which behaviors your child uses to communicate which messages.
