I was especially interested whether the outcomes table makes it easier to observe and verbalize the changes in a client’s way to use nonverbal interaction. I also wanted to know how the users of intensive interaction outcomes table evaluate the need of improving it. Methods: The data of this study were collected with a questionnaire. The participants were found from the intensive interaction group in Facebook and from the email list of Tikoteekki’s specialist Kaisa Martikainen. The answers were classified thematically with the help of graphic symbols. Results: According to the findings of this study it seems that the intensive interaction outcomes table supports professionals in recognising changes in their client’s ways to use nonverbal interaction. It also helps them in verbalizing the recongized changes. The participants would develop the form by shorting it. It would make it easier to be used in everyday work.
