Description:Verbal Behavior: New Findings from the Field

14 CEU Units total available for BCBA's (7 units for each day)

Language intervention programs are constantly changing as a function of new

research related to language acquisition. B.F. Skinner's (1957) analysis of

verbal behavior has provided professionals and parents with a conceptual roadmap

for analyzing and treating language disorders. This workshop will begin with a

brief overview of B. F. Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior, followed by a

presentation of the most recent applications of the analysis to language

assessment and intervention. The major focus will be on the use of a verbal

behavior analysis to examine a number of common " language barriers " that often

impede language acquisition. Participants will learn intervention strategies

that may help to remove those barriers. This workshop will present the most

recent strategies for teaching each of the elementary verbal operants (i.e.,

mands, tacts, intraverbal, etc.). In addition, a variety of topics will be

covered over the two-day period, including behavior problems, how to set up a

verbal behavior classroom and in-home program, staff training, automatic

reinforcement, and the use of written words to facilitate language acquisition.
