Introduction to Verbal Behavior: Teaching Communication Skills to Children with Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities
February 13-15, 2008 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Presented by Dr. Vincent J. Carbone, Ed.D., Board Certified Behavior Analyst
Workshop sponsored by the Janus Academy
REGISTER NOW at http://www.janusacademy.com
Dr. Vincent J. Carbone is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over 30 years of experience designing learning environments for
persons with autism and development disabilities.
This workshop focuses on 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 Drs. Jack Michael, Mark Sundberg, James Partington and others.
Participants in this workshop will learn to:
• conduct a Behavioral Language Assessment;
• select the most appropriate form of communication for a child
(vocalizing, signing, pointing to or exchanging pictures, or
activating an augmentative device);
• select the communication responses and supporting skills that
should be taught first.
The workshop includes the recommended teaching procedures for those
children who have no formal communication skills to those that are
near conversational speakers. Dr. Carbone also describes and
demonstrates 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 video tape demonstrations are provided to illustrate the methods
to increase spontaneous language and to develop conversational
skills.

Natural Environment Teaching is where the learners acquire new skills through play.
The important elements of NET are to keep in mind
- what you want to teach
- to identify what motivates the child
- to be creative in figuring out how to teach the target skills using those motivations
- and to have FUN
- When the target skills are functional and motivating, much can be accomplished in the natural environment
