| bcba speech-language pathologist: The Verbal Behavior Approach Mary Lynch Barbera, 2007-05-15 The Verbal Behavior (VB) approach is a form of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), that is based on B.F. Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior and works particularly well with children with minimal or no speech abilities. In this book Dr. 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. |
| bcba speech-language pathologist: Behavioral Principles in Communicative Disorders Christine A. Maul, Brooke R. Findley, Amanda Nicolson Adam, 2015-12-17 Behavioral Principles in Communicative Disorders: Applications to Assessment and Treatment examines the basic principles of the science of behaviorism and applies those principles to the assessment and treatment of communicative disorders. It begins with the history and basic principles of behaviorism, as well as a chapter examining Skinner's (1957) concept of verbal behavior and functional units of verbal behavior. The text then discusses functional behavior assessment, the formulation of operationally defined target behaviors, discrete trial treatment procedures, and various techniques for increasing desirable behaviors and decreasing undesirable behaviors. The concluding chapters describe single-case research designs that support the efficacy of behavioral principles and address ethical questions and historic controversies surrounding the application of those principles. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) seek to change communicative behaviors in the clients they serve; the principles of behavioral science have many applications to the assessment and treatment of communicative disorders. There is a vast body of evidence indicating the efficacy of behavioral approaches in behavior modification, and SLPs have been tasked by their professional associations to employ evidence-based practices. Also, there is an appreciation for the usefulness of behavioral principles in treating clients with very severe communicative disorders, such as autism, apraxia, and dysfluency. This is evidenced by the development of the field of applied behavior analysis and the growing numbers of board certified behavior analysts (BCBA), with whom SLPs may be called upon to collaborate. Behavioral Principles in Communicative Disorders is primarily designed for practicing speech-language pathologists looking for detailed descriptions of evidence-based treatment procedures, as well as professors and students in university programs in communicative disorders. However, professionals in other fields, such as applied behavior analysis and special education, will also find this to be a highly useful text. |

| bcba speech-language pathologist: Late-Talking Children Stephen M. Camarata, 2014-08-29 What parents need to know about the causes and treatment of children's late talking: how to avoid misdiagnoses, navigate the educational system, and more. When children are late in hitting developmental milestones, parents worry. And no delay causes more parental anxiety than late talking, which is associated in many parents' minds with such serious conditions as autism and severe intellectual disability. In fact, as children's speech expert Stephen Camarata points out in this enlightening book, children are late in beginning to talk for a wide variety of reasons. For some children, late talking may be a symptom of other, more serious, problems; for many others, however, it may simply be a stage with no long-term complications. Camarata describes in accessible language what science knows about the characteristics and causes of late talking. He explains that late talking is only one of a constellation of autism symptoms. Although all autistic children are late talkers, not all late-talking children are autistic. Camarata draws on more than twenty-five years of professional experience diagnosing and treating late talkers—and on his personal experience of being a late talker himself and having a late-talking son. He provides information that will help parents navigate the maze of doctors, speech therapists, early childhood services, and special education; and he describes the effect that late talking may have on children's post-talking learning styles. |

| bcba speech-language pathologist: Well, That Escalated Quickly Franchesca Ramsey, 2018-05-22 A sharp and timely exploration of race, online activism, and real communication in the age of social media rants, trolls, and call-out wars, from veteran video blogger and star of MTV's Decoded Franchesca Ramsey. Franchesca Ramsey didn't set out to be an activist. Or a comedian. Or a commentator on identity, race, and culture, really. But then her YouTube video What White Girls Say . . . to Black Girls went viral. Twelve million views viral. Faced with an avalanche of media requests, fan letters, and hate mail, she had two choices: Jump in and make her voice heard or step back and let others frame the conversation. After a crash course in social justice and more than a few foot-in-mouth moments, she realized she had a unique talent and passion for breaking down injustice in America in ways that could make people listen and engage. In her first book, Ramsey uses her own experiences as an accidental activist to explore the many ways we communicate with each other--from the highs of bridging gaps and making connections to the many pitfalls that accompany talking about race, power, sexuality, and gender in an unpredictable public space...the internet. Well, that Escalated Quickly includes Ramsey's advice on dealing with internet trolls and low-key racists, confessions about being a former online hater herself, and her personal hits and misses in activist debates with everyone from bigoted Facebook friends and misguided relatives to mainstream celebrities and YouTube influencers. With sharp humor and her trademark candor, Ramsey shows readers we can have tough conversations that move the dialogue forward, rather than backward, if we just approach them in the right way. |
| bcba speech-language pathologist: ABA Therapy for Nonverbal Toddlers Mary Kelso, 2021-12-14 Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can be beneficial to encourage communication for early childhood special needs children that are nonverbal, minimally verbal, or late talking toddlers. This book introduces errorless teaching that is used to teach preschool learning activities and concepts without errors or mistakes by the child. ABA methods for kids can help to avoid or decrease frustration by making learning fun by building confidence and enthusiasm with teaching instructions. Selecting preferred reinforcement is discussed so new skills, as well as self-control and patience can be rewarded. Teaching techniques for receptive and expressive language skills for children with autism spectrum disorders are provided. This includes helpful methods to talk with your toddler and encourage communication. There are instructions for making your own story books so they can be used to develop basic concepts that will help to prepare children for kindergarten readiness skills. Another part of ABA therapy is behavior control to decrease challenging or inappropriate behavior such as aggression or self-injury behavior (SIB). This book does not address these issues because they are not always present with nonverbal children. This book should not be a substitute for advice from a BCBA, SLP, Early Intervention Specialist or any other professional that can work one-on-one with a child. |

| bcba speech-language pathologist: Turn Autism Around Mary Lynch Barbera, Ph.D., 2022-03-29 Help remediate—and in some cases eliminate—autism and other developmental delays in young children, even in as little as 15 minutes a day with this toolkit of behavioral practices that can be taught at home. Developmental delays and signs of autism usually show up before 18 months of age, yet children are often not diagnosed until they are 4 or 5 years old. In Turn Autism Around, Dr. Mary Barbera explains why parents can't afford to worry and wait in long lines for evaluations and treatment while not knowing how to help their children. She empowers parents, caregivers, and early intervention professionals to regain hope and take back control with simple strategies to dramatically improve outcomes for their children. Dr. Barbera has created a new approach to teaching kids with developmental delays that uses the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) married with a positive, child-friendly methodology that any parent can use—whether or not their child has delays—to learn to teach communication skills, socialization strategies, as well as tackle sleep, eating, potty training, and behavior challenges in a positive, effective, and lasting way. Turn Autism Around is the first book of its kind that calls attention to an important fact: parents can make a tremendous impact on their child's development through behavioral practices taught at home, even in as little as 15 minutes a day. Her program shows these autism and developmental delays can be remediated, and in some cases, delays can be caught up altogether, if parents intervene while the child is young. This book is for parents of young children aged one-to-five years who are passionate about helping their child as well as learning how they can change the trajectory of their child's and family's life. |
| bcba speech-language pathologist: Let Me Hear Your Voice Catherine Maurice, 1994-07-19 She was a beautiful doelike child, with an intense, graceful fragility. In her first year, she picked up words, smiled and laughed, and learned to walk. But then Anne-Marie began to turn inward. And when her little girl lost some of the words she had acquired, cried inconsolably, and showed no interest in anyone around her, Catherine Maurice took her to doctors who gave her a devastating diagnosis: autism. In their desperate struggle to save their daughter, the Maurices plunged into a medical nightmare of false hopes, miracle cures, and infuriating suggestions that Anne-Marie's autism was somehow their fault. Finally, Anne-Marie was saved by an intensive behavioral therapy. Let Me Hear Your Voice is a mother's illuminating account of how one family triumphed over autism. It is an absolutely unforgettable book, as beautifully written as it is informative. A vivid and uplifting story . . .

| bcba speech-language pathologist: If It Isn't FUN It ISN't Fun Marci Melzer, 2019-09-19 Have you been frustrated with your speech therapy experience? Marci Melzer, M.Ed./SLP, is an intuitive speech-language pathologist with 30 years of experience helping people to develop the ability to use spoken language functionally. As a speech therapist, Marci found the health care system to be increasingly disempowering for both her and her clients. She finally left after being required by contract to go against her ethics for financial gains. Marci is now helping families by training the parents to facilitate language themselves faster, easier, and with a lot more fun than speech therapy. My 8-year-old son has ASD. He still was not talking after 5 years of speech therapy and 2 years of ABA. Language facilitation helped us hear new words without prompting within 2 weeks. In one month, my son gave up his iPad communication system to talk. ~ Jennifer, Kentucky, USA Marci learned, after decades of speech therapy, that parents are the best language facilitators. Parents already know their children better than any therapist can. They know what their children are thinking and feeling due to the natural, intuitive connection between parents and their kids. Marci's language facilitation program equips and empowers parents to see the speech learning from the child's perspective. She teaches parents to self-analyze their own teaching methods as well as their child's school and therapies to discover the habits, patterns, and mindset issues that are keeping their children stuck in nonverbal communication and resistant to learning to talk. The results of language facilitation are so much more than speech. They provide a world our kids begin to trust and as they gain confidence in themselves, their abilities, and in each relationship they open up to so much more. Speech has only been the tip of the iceberg for us. Watching our son (who will be 7 years old next week) engage with the world around him has been a gift beyond measure. ~ Janaiah, North Carolina USA Parents whose late-talking children have received diagnoses such as Autism, Apraxia, Global Developmental Delay, Genetic Disorders, Brain Malformation, and Auditory Processing Disorder are now conversing. Parents are seeing almost immediate results in children from 2-years-old to 13-years-old. Every child can benefit from parents using language facilitation. It feels wonderful to connect with my 10-year-old son through play and hear new words, phrases, and sentences every day. He was so sad and anxious about all the prompting in speech therapy and it did not work anyway. ~ Mary Ann, Wisconsin, USA Hundreds of parents watch Marci's videos on Facebook and YouTube every day and comment on how the strategies are helping them overcome their child's resistance to speech faster than speech therapy. Now, parents can have a print-version of Marci's Language Facilitation program to use at their own pace. Every family who eliminates communication blockages and facilitates language naturally has heard their limited-verbal and nonverbal children use spontaneous spoken developmental language within weeks. Many children begin talking within days. These strategies are that good. The concept of language facilitation gives the power back to the parents. Our children love and learn the most from us, not schools, hourly therapy sessions, etc. We naturally teach our children everything and Marci integrates this with her teaching. We need more Marci's in this world to keep up with this epidemic, our children deserve the best and Marci teaches parents how to not only reach their children but to teach their teams and supports how to do it as well. Once all are on board you will see results that will blow your mind! ~ Tracy, Illinois USA |

Ostergren, Margaret Vento-Wilson, 2022-12-29 The third edition of the bestselling Speech-Language Pathology Assistants: A Resource Manual is an essential, practical, and easy-to-use resource for SLPAs and SLPA educators and their students.
