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.
