This article describes the use of the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales (CSBS) to profile the communication, social, and symbolic abilities of African American 1-year-olds. The CSBS was administered to 93 African American infants at 1 year of age. Results indicated that this sample's CSBS scores were generally similar to those reported in the standardization sample with adequate levels of internal consistency for most scales. Few gender differences occurred. These data support the use of the CSBS to assess the communication skills of African American infants.
