The Verbal Behavior Milestone Assessment (VB-MAPP) program presented in this handbook and its accompanying protocol based on Skinner's (1957) Verbal Behavior is one of the most important and important analyzes in the linguistic process. This book provides a clear and understandable approach to language extracted from the empirical principles of learning, and its value has been proven over time. In addition to scanner research and study of language, his studies in behavioral psychology and learning have led to a profession called applied behavior analysis. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has presented many successful applications in the field of learning and language problems faced by children with autism or other intellectual disabilities. VB-MAPP provides ABA teaching methods and approaches and Skinner Verbal Behavior Analysis to develop a behavior-based language assessment program for all children with verbal retardation.
The five main components of VB-MAPP are covered in this handbook. The first assessment is related to VB-MAPPI milestones, which are designed to provide a sample of verbal and related skills in the child. This assessment includes 170 learnable and language milestones that are set at three age levels of language development (0-18 months, 18-30 months and 30-48 months). Assessed skills include application, naming, repetition, interspecific skills, listener, motor imitation, independent play, social play, visual perceptual and pattern matching skills, linguistic structure, class and group skills, and basic academic assignments. The milestone assessment includes the EESA Basic Skills Assessment subset, developed by Barbara E. Schet, CCCP-SLP and BCBA-D, developed.
The second component is the VB-MAPP Barriers Assessment, which provides an overview of the 24 learning barriers as well as barriers to language skills in children with autism or children with other developmental disabilities. Barriers include behavioral problems, educational control, request disorder, naming disorder, repetition disorder, imitation disorder, impaired visual perception and matching, listener impaired skills, impaired verbal skills, impaired social skills, stimulus dependence Scanning disorder, Conditional discrimination disorder, Non-generalization, Weak motivational factors, Need for response that weakens motivation, Reinforcing dependence, Spontaneous stimulation, Speech disorder, Obsessive-compulsive behavior, Hyperactivity behavior, Non-contact And the defense disorder becomes sensory. By identifying these barriers, the specialist physician can develop intervention strategies to help overcome these problems, which can ultimately lead to more effective learning.
