Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 I had a consultant from WEAP and when we first began (early 2000) it was a very traditional Lovass approach. In the fall of 2000 I went to a Carbone conference and came home very excited about the ABBLS and verbal behavior. At about this same time WEAP had Dr. Carbone present at their Madison clinic and my consultant was also very excited about VB and we soon after implented more VB in my son's program. I think the enthusiasm for VB varied from consultant-to-consultant. Two other families in my area, were also using WEAP, but no VB. I don't know if these families ever asked for it and remember that was back in 2000 and many people did not know about VB. I think WEAP tries to maintain very individualized programs addressing the needs of each child. Some families used PECS/ some did not and some used sign/ some did not. I believe that if you let them know that you wanted VB they would be sure to give you a consultant with experience in this area. Mimi [ ] We'd like to ask other people's experience with consultants from the Wisconsin Early Autism Project (WEAP). We were told that some of their consultants have some training on Verbal Behavior. WEAP is a Lovaas replication site - and we wonder how much VB is incorporated into their curriculum. Do they use the ABBLS book? Please respond privately to ambolossy@... <mailto:ambolossy@...> .
