Do you want to learn how to improve the development of functional language

(including speech, sign, & PECS), reinforce effectively, strengthen

generalization, and improve the overall quality of your applied behavior

analysis (ABA) programming?

This workshop will discuss the ABA approach to teaching verbal behavior (VB) to

students with autism. This application of the science of behavior is based on

B.F. Skinner's analysis of VB and the subsequent work of Drs. Jack ,

Carbone, Mark Sundberg, Jim Partington,et al. Participants will learn

about the basic verbal operants, motivation and its critical role in teaching,

assessment procedures, and curricular objectives that are essential for success

in a student's educational program. The workshop will address effective teaching

procedures for students with a range of skill repertoires and is for anyone

looking to increase language, whether the student is nonvocal, has some

language, or is nearly conversational.

The workshop will describe and demonstrate:

· Pairing and establishing operations (EO)

· Errorless learning and teaching, including prompting and fading

procedures

· Assessment / Curriculum development, including the Assessment of Basic

Language & Learning Skills (ABLLS)

· Effective teaching practices to be used in both the natural

environment (NET) and in structured teaching environments

If you have the Sundberg and Partington manual and ABLLS please bring them with

you
