Conference: Intro to Verbal Behavior by Dr Carbone

[Guest guest]

Special Conference Event:

Introduction to Verbal Behavior by J. Carbone, EdD, BCBA

Teaching Communication Skills to Children with Autism and Other Developmental

Disabilities

Parents, therapists and educators are invited to learn the behavioral approach

to teaching communication skills to children with autism and other developmental

disabilities. This comprehensive three-day workshop covers the recommended

teaching procedures for children who have no verbal communication skills to

those that are near conversational speakers. Based on B.F. Skinner’s analysis of

verbal behavior and the research of , Sundberg, Partington, and others,

participants in this workshop learn how to conduct a Behavioral Language

Assessment, select the most appropriate form of communication for a child

(vocal, signing, pointing to or exchanging pictures, or activating an

augmentative device), and select the communication responses and supporting

skills that should be taught first. Dr. Carbone describes and demonstrates

errorless teaching, effective prompting and fading procedures, and the proper

use of discrete trial training in both the natural environment and

during intensive teaching sessions. Many video tape demonstrations are

provided to illustrate the methods to increase spontaneous language and to

develop conversational skills.
