Teckenanvändning och kommunikativt beteende efter teckenstödsutbildning : en explorativ fallstudie
Year: 2014
Type: dissertation
Abstract: At the Habilitation center in Nacka, Stockholm, Sweden, a sign support course was developed where the sign selection was based on relevant everyday situations and the amount of signs was limited. The aim of the study was to examine if participants in the course “Våga teckna” changed their sign language use, lexical variation and communicative behavior after participating and if it was maintained over time. In this study a parent and a resource person participated, each with a child with disabilities. Participants were filmed and video recorded interactions were analyzed. Sign use was calculated per each film session. The adults' communicative behavior in interaction with the children was rated by the assessment instrument KOMMUNIKATIV. The parent used fewer signs and got lower ratings of communicative behavior after the course. The resource person increased her sign use and communicative quality after the course. Analysis of the number of signs, lexical variation and communicative behavior can be an informative way to evaluate sign support courses.
