Teaching Language To Children With Autism

&/Or Developmental Disorders

Dates: May 24-25, 2019
Venue: R.E.A.C.H. Inc., 2nd Flr., Uniwide Sales Metro Mall,
#43 Real St. Pamplona, Las Piñas City

Overview:

This workshop is designed to provide an overview of B.F. Skinner’s analysis of

language to parents, educators, and other practitioners. A review of the primary
verbal operant will be provided along with a video-taped review of teaching
methods typically used to teach those skills. Some children with ASD may not
talk at all while others may know words but not use them very often. There are
varieties of research-proven techniques that can help teach students to speak
more and to expand on the words they are using.

Participants will learn how to assess a child’s language abilities, and how to
implement several important intervention strategies. A major emphasis will be
placed on identifying methods to enhance and utilize motivational variables
(establishing operations) to teach language in both structured teaching sessions
and in daily activities. Techniques for coordinating the on-going decision making
necessary for effective language intervention and methods of data collection
and techniques of tracking the acquisition of the skills will be presented.

Objectives:

At the end of the two day seminar-workshop, the participants will be able to:

1. Identify examples of B.F. Skinner’s verbal operants;

2. Describe how curricular variables affect the motivation of young children
with autism and other developmental disorders;
3. How teaching a child to mand for reinforcers results in the development of
several other important learner skills;
4. Identify methods for developing and maintaining the motivation of young
children with autism and other developmental disorders;
5. Conduct an initial behavioral language assessment such as to determine
the most appropriate initial language intervention for young children with
language delay;
6. Identify the criteria for selection of the initial words to teach young
children who do not have expressive language skills;
 7. Identify the critical elements of discrete trials instruction;
8. Explain how to perform a correction procedure in situations in which the
student provides an incorrect response;
9. Explain how to develop intraverbal skills (ability to talk about people,
items, places, events and experiences);
10. Identify how the critical elements of discrete trial instruction can be
implemented within the child’s typical daily events.
