Topic: Part I: Overview of Verbal Behavior

Presenter(s): Taryn Goodwin, M.Ed., BCBA Training Associate


The Verbal Behavior-Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) is based on the analysis of verbal behavior.  The VB-MAPP simplifies language skills into verbal operants, i.e. mand (request), tact (label), listener responding (receptive language), intraverbal (conversational skills), and echoic skills.  Each of these verbal operants serves a different function for the speaker.  

In this seminar, a brief overview of verbal behavior is provided.  The presenters define each verbal operant and the function of each verbal operant

IMPORTANT: In order to fully benefit from this seminar, you must have a VB-MAPP protocol and manual. VCU-ACE does not provide these materials. To purchase these items, visit: www.avbpress.com

The VB-MAPP was designed by Dr. Mark Sundberg and Associates.  The training you are watching is not intended to train on implementing the VB-MAPP assessment.
