" Promoting Functional Speech in Children with Autism with

Emphasis on the Kaufman Assessment and Strategies "

Learn research-proven strategies to assist children with autism in

developing speech and refining articulation skills. These strategies,

based on research in the field of speech-language pathology and Applied

Behavior Analysis are especially appropriate for children who are

experiencing difficulty in development of speech and may have a

diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and " verbal apraxia. "

Methods for systematically shaping functional verbal communication in

children with limited verbal imitation will be addressed. Application

of Kaufman's hierarchy of vocalizations and use of simplified " word

shells " with this population will also be explored. These strategies,

viewed through the framework of Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior

can be implemented in a home or school-based ABA program.

This workshop is designed for parents, in-home therapists, teachers,

behavior analysts, speech-language pathologists and psychologists who

have a basic understanding of Verbal Behavior.

Cost-Prior to March 9, 2004 - $115; after March 9, 2004 - $135 (Cdn.)
