As a Certified Behavior Analyst for 10 years, I have seen the trends come and go and I have come to realize that the approaches still all come from the underlying principles of behavior analysis, regardless of the " product packaging. " Make sure that your new consultant is capable of giving a thorough rationale for using DTT. Many consultants have had limited exposure to only one teaching approach. They may have been trained in a facility or been mentored by someone who only exposed them to one way of introducing new language concepts. I am in New Jersey as well, and I too use eclectic approaches. I lean towards DTT for acquiring new skills, particularly preacademics/academics. I use the ABBLS to assess and prefer the VB approach when progressing in a language program. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions and if the person gets defensive, ask more. -Crystal Harms Mount Laurel Township Schools, NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
