2/20/09 Apologies for loss of the google translator!
pbwiki is changing its format and editor, and as one of those changes it is redacting (inactivating) small javascripts that used to function on this site. One of those inactivated was the google translator. I'm looking for an acceptable alternative, but in the meantime, to translate the pages, start in google translator and type in the URL of this site.
Autoclitics are a relatively advanced topic in Verbal Behavior but have relevance to language instruction and as tact modifiers. This is repost of a very clear description of classifications by Dr. Jay C.Moore. Suggestions for further reading are included at the bottom of the page.
2/6/09 POSSIBLE CHANGES TO THIS WEBSITE
PBWiki is in the process of changing its sites to a different format and editor system effective March 9, 2009. It's not clear at the present time how, or whether, this will affect the functionality or format of this site. We apologize in advance for any glitches when the switchover occurs.
When the site started, I had hoped that I could keep up with ongoing workshops--esp. if announcements were forwarded for posting, but because of the time seeking this info, rather than having no announcements on the page or only out-of-date information, it is likely that active content will be discontinued and the pages and links deleted. It's not quite decided, but if those changes occur, that is the reason. Thanks for your understanding.
Site updates; contact us about bad links or new info
4/14/08 Page reorganization in progress
When I first started the site, there was not quite so much info and organization was not such an issue. As time has gone on, it has become more so, so I am gradually going through the site and consolidating and editing some pages, checking link status and trying to add features to make it more navigatible. Thanks for you patience while this is going on.

and note that there is also a new wiki page on the subject
Some functions on the site using Javascript, such as the Babelfish translator, have been disabling. The happens from time to time, so I am trying to find a solution to keep the function enabled and stable. Thanks for your understanding.
1/7/08 Help tell me about bad or inactive links--thanks.
In honor of the new year, I am going through the links to check their status and building some new pages. If you happen on a bad link, or see a new service, or resource that might be relevant to the site topic, PLEASE EMAIL
There might be some reorganization at some point, so thanks for your understanding :-).

About the upcoming VB-MAPP, trainings (which include a beta-version of the VB-MAPP), and downloads of presentations and papers related to Verbal Behavior.
A two-year British study into the impact of early intensive behavioural intervention (EIBI) found that some toddlers on the programme jumped 40 IQ points. A quarter showed "very substantial improvements", and none regressed.
The youngsters also showed more advanced language and better daily living skills than similar children in a control group who received standard educational support such as speech therapy..."

"This training series is intended for parents of learners with autism or
other developmental disabilities, those who have never worked in ABA but are
interested in being trained, and those who already work as ABA staff but need a
refresher or more specific training in teaching verbal behavior. Each
training series will last for 2 days; both full days are mandatory.
Each training day will last from 9:30 AM until 5:30 PM.
DAY 1 : Mainly brief background on the science of behavior analysis, teaching verbal behavior, effective teaching procedures, addressing undesired behavior, gaining instructional control through "pairing," and using the ABLLS to guide instruction, among other topics. Any remaining time will be spent role-playing in pairs to practice the teaching procedures.
DAY 2 will be intensive continued hands-on training, Q & A, and discussion of the material covered.
The first part of the NET workshop will show video of multiple learners working in the NET. Participants will learn how NET lesson plans are created. Each participant will go home with a NET lesson plan to use with their learner.
Requirements: Bring a list of 5 target skills that your learner is currently working on or you plan to soon.
Part 2 - February 21, 2008
We will have the opportunity to learn from each other by watching video from workshop participants. Participants will have the opportunity to get feedback, ask questions, and improve their NET teaching skills.
Requirements: Bring a video or DVD of your NET Lesson plan in action
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
