FEAT-NT presents . . . Teaching Beginning and Advanced Language Skills to Children with Autism by:Mark L. Sundberg, Ph.D.,Behavior Analysts, Inc./STARS School Beginning a LanguageIntervention Program October 2, 2003 Teaching Advanced Language Skills October 3 & 4, 2003 AUTISM WORKSHOP The introductory one day workshop will cover the basic elements of B.F. Skinner’s analysis of language, language assessment, and beginning a language intervention program for a child who has little (less than 100 words) or no verbal skills. The objectives of this workshop are to teach participants how to: • Use a behavioral approach to language assessment (e.g., mands, tacts, and intraverbals). • Establish an effective individualized language intervention program for children with autism. • Utilize motivational variables to teach language in structured sessions (discrete trial training), and in on-going daily activities (natural environment training). • Write language based IEPs and use the most efficient data collection system. • Determine if augmentative communication is necessary, and if so, which type might be best for an individual child (e.g., sign language, PECS, writing). The two day workshop will follow the first day and will focus on more advanced language training. This workshop is designed for individuals who have taken the one day workshop, or are familiar with behavior analysis and Skinner’s analysis of language (e.g., mands, tacts, and intraverbals) and are working with children who have at least a 100 word tact and receptive vocabulary. The objectives of this workshop are to teach participants how to: • Analyze a child’s language skills, including language problems such as echolalia, rote responding, and overcoming linguistic barriers using the tools of behavior analysis and Skinner’s (1957) book Verbal Behavior. • Develop intervention programs to teach multiple component tacts (e.g., subject-verb-noun),and advanced tacting (e.g., prepositions, adjectives, feelings). • Develop intervention programs to teach manding for missing items, manding for information, and manding to remove aversives. • Develop intervention programs to teach social interaction, classroom skills, and academic skills. • Analyze instructional decisions such as school placements, inclusion, DTT vs. NET, as well as alternative treatments for autism. These workshops are co-sponsored by University of north Texas, and can be helpful for individuals who work or live with children with autism or other developmental disabilities. Participants will receive a 75 page handout and a certificate of attendance.
