Teaching Expressive Language
Many individuals with autism or other developmental delays do not acquire verbal language skills in the same way as their peers. This course provides an overview of verbal operants and how they are addressed in ABA programs. Video examples and interactions provide practice on key concepts. This training program is based on the RBT Task List and is designed to meet the 40-hour training requirement for the RBT credential. This program is offered independent of the BACB.
