COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Behavioral Assessment is utilized in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy to determine the skill level of the learner and the appropriate implementation of behavioral programming. The Verbal Behavior Milestones and Assessment Placement Protocol (VBMAPP) is one of the most commonly used assessment tools for early learners involved in ABA treatment. Despite the need for collaboration across multiple disciplines for treatment planning, there are few professionals outside of the field of behavior analysis who feel confident in interpreting assessment results or have knowledge of the verbal operants utilized in program development. This presentation will cover the basics of interpreting VBMAPP results, an overview of the verbal operants used in treatment planning, and debunk common misconceptions as well as questions asked by parents and treatment providers from other disciplines. 

OBJECTIVES

-Learn to Interpret Results from the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VBMAPP) Milestones and Barriers Assessments
-Understand the basic Verbal Operants and their relevance to goal development for early learners.
