Teaching Language to Children With Autism or Other Developmental Disabilities

This is the original must have book for professionals and parents implementing a verbal behavior assessment and intervention program for children with autism or other developmental disabilities (often termed the Verbal Behavior Approach). The book provides an easy to understand introduction to Skinner s analysis of language (i.e., mands, tacts, & intraverbals) with easy to follow examples of everyday language skills demonstrated by children. The book contains a brief language assessment system; the Behavioral Language Assessment Form (BLAF) that will give parents and teachers a quick overview of a child s language skills (see the VB-MAPP for a more thorough assessment). The assessment is followed by descriptions on the basic teaching procedures for developing early and intermediate mands, tacts, echoics, imitation, matching-to-sample, receptive language, and intraverbal skills. The use of sign language and other forms of augmentative communication are presented along with suggestions for IEP goals, skill tracking, and data collection. The book also contains a chapter on the need for both structured discrete trial training (DTT) and natural environment training (NET). This is the latest version of the book and has been re-edited (2010), and professionally typeset thus it is 70 pages less than the original version released in 1998. This version (7.2) is exclusively published by AVB Press.

Capturing the Motivation of Children with Autism or Other Developmental Delays provides an analysis of motivational factors involved in both structured teaching sessions and everyday activities. Methods are presented to identify and capture motivational factors that influence the child's willingness to participate in learning activities. Techniques to create motivational conditions that lead to increased spontaneous language and social interactions are reviewed. Additionally, methods are presented to help develop and increase the reinforcing value of social feedback such as praise and smiles. This book provides research-based, practical information in a non-technical manner to parents, educators and other professionals who interact with or teach individuals with autism or other developmental delays. This book is designed to be easy to read for those who have the motivation to help but have not had extensive technical training in the concepts being presented.
