This comprehensive assessment tool is designed to aid educators, speech-language pathologists, and parents in evaluating the communication, learning, and social competencies of children with autism and related intellectual disabilities. By utilizing B.F. Skinner’s behavioral analysis framework, this second edition of the VB-MAPP not only identifies a child’s current language capabilities but also highlights potential learning obstacles that may hinder their communication development. The structured approach of the VB-MAPP ensures that users can pinpoint specific areas of need and create tailored intervention strategies, enhancing the support provided to each child. Inside the VB-MAPP Full Set, readers will find an Instructor’s Guide that outlines the methodology behind Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior, complete with practical advice for conducting the various assessments—Milestones, Barriers, and Transition assessments. Additionally, it offers detailed guidance for developing Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals. The accompanying Individual Child Protocol features scoring forms and charts, making it easy to track progress over time. With the inclusion of the revised Early Echoic Skills Assessment, this edition is an invaluable resource for those looking to foster language development in children effectively.
