Teaching Verbal Behavior Skills in the Classroom

[Guest guest]

July 26 & 27

Overview-Teaching Verbal Behavior in the Classroom

Using the analysis of language as a behavior that is under the

influence of the principles of operant conditioning provides a

viable model for helping children with langauge deficits. Reasearch

has demonstrated that the application of these principles leads to

the development of functional communication skills, reduction in

problem behavior and increase in social initiations.

This workshop will illustrate through extensive use of video how the

principles of ABA that empahsize the teaching of verbal behavior are

being applied effectively in classroom settings to teach children

with autism language and other important skills.

Presented by M. Caffrey M.Ed.
