Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior and works particularly well with children with minimal or no speech abilities. In this book Mary Lynch Barbera draws on her own experiences as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and also as a parent of a child with autism to explain VB and how to use it. This step-by-step guide provides an abundance of information about how to help children develop better language and speaking skills, and also explains how to teach non-vocal children to use sign language. An entire chapter focuses on ways to reduce problem behavior, and there is also useful information on teaching toileting and other important self-help skills, that would benefit any child. This book will enable parents and professionals unfamiliar with the principles of ABA and VB to get started immediately using the Verbal Behavior approach to teach children with autism and related disorders. |
Average Customer Rating:   The Verbal Behavior Approach Mary's description of the verbal behavior approach is perfect for new parents, therapists, teachers, or consultants interested in learning about verbal behavior. Her examples are perfectly clear and personal. You can't miss the fact that Mary has vast experience as she lays out practical, learner-friendly teaching strategies.

[...] Must read for anyone who comes into contact with children with autism This book is fantastic in providing a reader friendly introduction to Verbal Behavior. The author uses many descriptors that allows you to picture what she is writing. Verbal Behavior is a great way to teach children with autism, as it determines the "holes" in a child's learning and fills in those "holes". This builds a strong foundation in all areas of development. I have seen great success using VB in my classroom and Barbera's book has been an instrumental part of my implementation. A must read, but ... This book is well organized and it presents Verbal Behavior in a pleasant and accessible manner. It contains useful information on how to start a Verbal Behavior treatment program along with some very useful techniques.
Yet, this book is by far *not* enough. If it's got a drawback, it is this: that it doesn't fully convey that, in order to grasp what a thorough therapy is, some further reading is required.
Highly recommended in addition to other books, such as "Verbal Behavior Analysis" by Douglas Greer. Prompt Services The book is just what I need for my research in verbal behavior to put the intervention in laymans terms.
She is a wonderful author.
I got my book in adequate timing. GREAT for non-BCBA's! This book is so informative that I wrote to the author to tell her what a great job she did - and what a service for the community. It's in easy language and VERY helpful to the professional, as well as the parent. I highly recommend it! |  |
