[Fwd: Vince Carbone VB workshop Nov 3-5 Dearborn MI]

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Just sending out a reminder, there will be a Verbal Behavior ABA

workshop presented by Dr. Vince Carbone, BCBA, November 3-5 at the

Holiday Inn in Dearborn MI. I have seen him several times and he is an

excellent presenter, and the information is extremely useful. He shows

a lot of video to illustrate his techniques. And the cost is very

reasonable for a three day workshop, $305 for professionals ($275 if 5

or more from one group) , and only $150 for parents!

Teaching Communication Skills to Children with Autism or Other

Developmental Disabilities

Nov 3 - 5, 2005

Dr. J. Carbone , BCBA

Detroit (Dearborn), MI

Holiday Inn Dearborn-Fairlane

This workshop will describe practical and validated solutions for the

following problems:

* Has your child or student with autism or other developmental

disabilities acquired some receptive language but almost no expressive

language?

* Has your child acquired vocal imitation but no spontaneous words

or phrases?

* Does your student follow directions and remain on-task but almost

never communicates spontaneously?

* Does your student label many items in his environment but almost

never spontaneously requests anything or engage in conversation?

* Does your child run in the other direction when he sees a table, a

chair and a teacher?

* Does your child or student exhibit aggressive or self-injurious

behavior and very few communication skills?

* Does your child's or student's language sound scripted?

Course Description:

This workshop will describe the behavioral approach to teaching

communication skills to children with autism and other developmental

disabilities. This approach is based on B. F. Skinner's analysis of

verbal behavior and the research of , Sunberg, Partington and

others. The program will include the recommended teaching procedures for

children who have no formal 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

videotape demonstrations will be provided to illustrate the methods to

increase spontaneous language and to develop conversational skills.
