Mariposa School presents Mark Sundberg

[Guest guest]

Mariposa School for children with Autism would like to announce a 1-day workshop

with Dr. Mark Sundberg.

The title of this workshop is Using Behavior Analysis to Guide a Language

Intervention Program for Children with Autism.

In this workshop Dr. Sundberg will describe several contributions that behavior

analysis can make to language assessment and intervention for children with

autism. One of these contributions is Skinner?s behavioral analysis of verbal

behavior, which can serve as a guide for identifying the language needs of an

individual child, and suggest intervention strategies. Participants will learn

how to apply this methodology to their own children, or to those that they work

with. There will be a focus on teaching language in the natural environment,

mand training, social interaction with peers, social play, and developing

conversational skills.
