This trainer's guide is intended for use in conjunction with a companion videotape, "Focus on Listening." It includes an overview of the video for the trainer and master copies of the handouts to be used by paraprofessionals. The videotape is designed to be viewed either individually or in groups. The tape and the handouts present a listening model and discuss how paraprofessionals can increase listening by decreasing interferences. These handouts are included: listening model, increasing listening, decreasing interferences, and feedback. An evaluation form to be completed by the paraprofessional is provided. (YLB)
