Errorless learning does NOT fall under the domain of either ABA or VB. Errorless learning is another 'learning principle' that is used by practioners of ABA which VB is a part of. The major difference is how they break up language. Mands, tacts and intraverbals vs. expressive and receptive language. Some ABA practicioners use VB termenology, some use the expressive/receptive termonology. This paradigm difference causes differnces in the progression of the program. Both the Cleveland Clinic and the Columbus Children's Hospitals ABA program which do not use VB use an errorless learning program.

That's interesting. I always felt we did errorless learning. So now it makes more sense. The terminology is different causing the progression of the program to be different. I guess I will have to read more about the curriculum/path that VB goes in comparison.
