- R Douglas Greer
- Denise E. Ross
$67.99
- Hardcover, paperback or looseleaf edition
- Affordable rental option for select titles
- Written specifically for those with a background in applied behavior analysis.
- Describes how to teach children to be literate listeners, reducing the numbers of instructional times required to teach basic skills from four to ten times (Chapter 3).
- Provides practitioners with the means to induce speaker capabilities or functional language in children who are nonverbal (Chapter 4).
- Provides practitioners with the means to help children to become socially verbal and engage in social interactions with their peers and adults (Chapter 5).
- Provides practitioners with the procedures to teach children who are not observational learners to become observational learners (Chapters 5 and 7).
- Provides practitioners with the procedures to teach children to acquire novel language and language usage incidentally, allowing children to expand their language without direct instruction (Chapters 3, 5, and 6).
- Children learn to prefer books in free time and learn to read, as they move from emergent speakers to readers (Chapter 6).
- Introduces a verbal developmental scheme to guide instruction. Practitioners can determine which children need particular interventions and when they need them, along with alternative tactics and strategies for solving learner problems (Chapters 2 and 7).
