Request for strategies to teach mand training in the NET

[Guest guest]

To all:

I am a teacher of special education services who has been doing ABA

with children with Autism for about 7 years. I have taught using the

No prompt, No no prompt, and errorless learning. I have recently

(this past year) been introduced to verbal behavior to teach children

in early intervention and up to age 5. I am now teaching using only

this method I am working on improving my skills both at the table

and particularly in the NET (I hear this is the toughest).

I am in the process of developing guidelines and strategies to teach

mands to children in the NET. I would like to have a list of

suggestions that can be used by anyone who teaches using VB. The

goal is to increase the frequency of mands spoken by children in

their natural environment.

I have some ideas after addending Carbone's conference and through

monthly training with the help of our very fantastic consultant. I

would like to get more ideas from professionals and parents to add to

my list. Once the list is complete ( or just so many ideas that i

can't write it anymore) I will make it available on .

Thank you for your help in advance,

Jill Basso, MA, Sp.Ed.
