Workshop Description:

Teaching children with Autism, through the Analysis of Verbal

Behavior has great benefits to help learners improve their ability to

communicate at home, school and community. This workshop will present a

conceptual analysis of Verbal Behavior to assist teachers, parents and

professionals in how to use the motivational variable to effectively teach

children. This specialized approach to instruction can assist in teaching

social, play and language skills, useful in everyday environments and can be

very beneficial to school districts, therapists and parents.

A major emphasis will be placed on identifying methods to develop and maintain

motivational variables (motivative operations) to teach language in naturally

occurring activities. Through his research of the motivational variable, at his

clinic and school in California, and his work with families and children, Dr.

Partington will present information on the value and application of this to

teaching. Participants will learn to use pairing, development of learner

cooperation, instructional control, manding and using mixed verbal behavior

teaching sessions to prevent escape and avoidance behavior. In addition,

participants will identify the critical teaching skills in order to provide

appropriate educational services which may be effective for children with

autism.
