In this three day workshop, the presenter will describe the behavioral approach to teaching communication skills to children with autism and other developmental disabilities. Participants in this workshop will learn [1]. to conduct a Behavioral Language Assessment [2] to select the most appropriate form of communication for a child or adult (vocal, signing, pointing to or exchanging pictures, or activating an augmentive device) and [3] to select the communication responses and supporting skills that should be taught first. The workshop will include the recommended teaching procedures for children who have no formal communication skills to children who are near conversational speakers. The presenter will also describe and demonstrate errorless teaching, specific quick-transfer-(prompting and fading) procedures, and the use of both discrete trial training in the natural environment and during intensive teaching sessions. Many video tape demonstrations will be provided to illustrate the methods to increase spontaneous language and to develop conversational skills.
