The VCSL is a comprehensive checklist that helps to track young children's sign language development from birth to age 5. The VCSL assists teachers and early childhood education service providers in planning language development activities for individual children. The online version automates the administration and scoring, provides links to video exemplars to help raters understand the language element being rated, creates reports, and saves non-identifiable data in a national database for use in research and analysis.
