Creating Intensive Verbal Behavior Programs for Students with Language/Learning Challenges, 3-Day Training
This intensive 3-day training provides participants the opportunity to learn skills to design and implement evidence-based programs for students with developmental disorders which are grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis and emphasize the acquisition of verbal behavior (language) repertoires. Concepts covered will include basic principles of ABA, errorless teaching and error correction procedures, the verbal operants, data collection, and programming based on verbal behavior assessments. Participants will also learn the importance of teaching students how to ask (mand) for what they want/need and how to incorporate mand training into their students’ programs. Participants will be required to complete written pre/post-tests, demonstrate teaching procedures, accurately complete data collection procedures, as well as orally define ABA terms. This training is modeled after training provided as part of Pennsylvania’s PaTTAN Autism Initiative. This is a prerequisite to the advanced verbal behavior trainings.
