(1987), distinctive labels have often been applied to instructional innovations in a manner that implies radically different intervention packages. This presentation will discuss some of the similarities and differences between different curriculum approaches. The history and characteristics of Discrete Trial Instruction, Applied Verbal Behavior and PECS will be reviewed and some general analytic principles towards effective curriculum sequencing will be proposed. PM DESCRIPTION: The Challenges of Providing Behavioral Support within a Home-based Setting Individuals with autism require a specialized and individualized approach to education. Whether the student receives instructional programming in a home-based or school-based setting, there is an ongoing need for the coordination of behavioral and communication goals into the home. This training will provide suggestions for parents on how best to integrate visual schedules and behavioral intervention strategies within the home routine. Common difficulties with the coordination of educational services across settings will be presented. Suggestions based upon clinical experience will be provided for both parents and professionals.
