Confidence Connection is proud to be sponsering a series of workshops

Teaching Verbal Behavior in the Natural Envrionment: Hands on VB

Workshop

This 2-day workshop is designed to provide consultants, therapists and

parents with an active role in their child's language program, with

guided practice in teaching early to advanced learners with autism in

the natural environment. If you work with early, intermediate or

advanced learners, this workshop is for you! The participants will

spend time viewing video taped illustrations of children with autism and

practicing the methods of effective instruction demonstrated during

Introductory VB Workshops. Participants will receive the opportunity to

develop NET programs of various learner levels and will receive precise

feedback on their teaching methods. The conference will cover the

following objectives in detail:

* Using the ABLLS to develop a natural environment teaching program

for early to advanced learners;

* Guided instruction with video examples of which skills to teach to

learners across each learner level in the NET as well as HOW to teach

these objectives;

* Manipulating motivating operations (MO's) to compete with the

value of self stimulatory behavior when teaching;

* Maintaining learner motivation throughout NET sessions across

learner levels;

* Teaching non vocal early learners to communicate using sign

language;

* Teaching vocal sounds to non-ocal learners;

* Teaching reciprocal conversation skills of multiple exchanges to

the advanced learner;

* Teaching children of all learner levels to play independently with

age appropriate toys;

* Teaching peer interaction social skills for the early to advanced

learner;

* Teaching the intermediate learner to mand (request) using

sentences, actions, missing items, requesting help, requesting

attention, using " yes " and " no " and many others;

* Generalizing skills taught in the intensive teaching setting into

the natural environment;

questions;

recall past events;

practice and feedback across learner levels;
