The Development of SHIPS: An Interactive Videodisc Assessment for Youth Who Use Sign Language.

Loeding, Barbara L.; Crittenden, Jerry B.

Exceptional Children, v61 n2 p148-58 Oct-Nov 1994

Two versions of a criterion-referenced videodisc-based instrument, SHIPS (Self-Help InterPersonal Skills), have been developed for high school students with hearing impairments. Students can choose either American Sign Language or English-based sign versions of assessment items. Field testing found that use of SHIPS enhanced data validity and reliability and reduced administration time. (Author/DB)
