VB Video - Was RE: Incorporating VB

[Guest guest]

This brings up a good question. Can we, as a community, put together a

video so that parents can download it for free or get a VHS cassette for

cost - like $5 with shipping.

If people sent in their videos with a permission slip, one person could put

together a single video with lots of small segments showing different

techniques. It would take lots of time, but wouldn't be very hard.

Actually, it would.

Desirable, but since this is so new, you would probably have to teach your

consultant as well. :-)

Obviously it would be good to have a consultant who knows how to do this.

In the

absence of that, go for it yourself.

If I had it to do all over again I would start sooner. :-) Just kidding.

You

might also get someone to send you a video of their child doing ABA/VB so

you can

see what it looks like. And Burk is doing a workshop on VB in

Toronto

this coming Sunday.
