Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Workshop #1: Introduction to Verbal Behavior Teaching Communication Skills To Children with Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities Presented by J. Carbone, Ed.D., Board Certified Behavior Analyst Feb 8,9, 10th, 2009 8:30-5:00 Location: Rose Castle 380 Flushing Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11205 This workshop focuses on the behavioral approach to teaching communication skills to children with autism and other developmental disabilities. This approach is based on B.F. Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior and the research of , Sundberg, Partington, and others. Participants in this workshop learn (1) to conduct a Behavioral Language Assessment, (2) to select the most appropriate form of communication for a child (vocal, signing, pointing to or exchanging pictures, or activating an augmentative device), and (3) to select the communication responses and supporting skills that should be taught first. The workshop includes the recommended teaching procedures for those children who have no formal communication skills to those that are near conversational speakers. The presenter also describes and demonstrates errorless teaching, specific quick-transfer (prompting and fading) procedures, and the use of both discrete trial training in the natural environment and during intensive teaching session. Many video tape demonstrations are provided to illustrate the methods to increase spontaneous language and to develop conversational skills.
