Jumpstarting Communication Skills in Children with Autism: A Parents' Guide to Applied Verbal Behavior
When children's communication skills lag, all areas of learning and socialization are affected. Jumpstarting Communication Skills in Children with Autism describes how an ABA approach can help children age 2-10 who have significant communication problems--difficulty making requests, perseverative speech, a lack of fluency in conversational exchanges, trouble reading others' signals, and more--learn to understand and use speech and language. Enriched by case studies, this straightforward and information-packed book examines using the Applied Verbal Behavior (AVB) method to tackle a wide variety of communication problems typical of children with autism. In a nutshell, AVB consists of observing and analyzing a child's communication behaviors, breaking them down into functions, and then teaching and reinforcing needed skills.
