What is

Skinner was an American psychologist. He was one of the founding father's of ABA. He developed Verbal Behaviour and called himself a Radical Behaviourist.
Dr. Skinner was voted the most influential psychologist of the 20th century by the American Psychological Association in 2002.
While creating Verbal Behaviour, Skinner identified the verbal operants.
Verbal Operants:
Echoics (repeating)
Mands (requesting)
Tacts (labeling)
Intraverbals (conversations/answering questions)
Autoclitics (phrases that impact the other operants)
How is Verbal Behaviour different than Applied Behaviour Analysis?
ABA is the science of learning and behaviour. Verbal Behaviour is a way of thinking about language.
A VB program incorporates the principles of ABA to teach the different verbal operants. For example, a VB program would use reinforcement, chaining and shaping.
How to teach Verbal Behaviour?
Whenever possible it's best to teach across operants. That means teaching a child to identify something as well as request it and be able to answer questions about it.
Knowing the tacts for objects won't be helpful if the child can't use those tacts to mand for items.
What about Assessment?
The VB Mapp (Verbal Behavior Milestone and Placement Program) assesses children's language development. It is a criterion-referenced assessment meaning it measures student performance of a specific skill.
How does verbal behaviour help my autistic child?
Understanding the purpose of the words we use is extremely important to being an effective communicator. The person learns that communication can help them have their needs met. Communication isn't always spoken language.
