Re: ABA curriculum

IMO, you are comparing apples and oranges (well, at least peaches and

nectarines). You will need both, since there is relatively little

overlap. See also the social items in Gutstein and Sheely's new workbooks, the

Vineland, various play curricula (e.g., Wolfberg), ...

The Eden curriculum, TEACCH stuff, etc.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a nice, clear scope and sequence of all kinds (or any)

of skills (for example: reading, math, social skills, vocational skills,

etc.) that would be useful in knowing where to go next when thinking about

IEPs and curriculum in general?

thanks,

jrkk
