Unit 6 Flashcards
VB-MAPP
A norm-referenced, developmental assessment, and curriculum.
Essential for Living
A functional assessment and curriculum
Developmental instruments
Include skills that are typically acquired in a specific sequence by typically-developing children.
Functional instruments
Include skills that are required in other settings.
Taught in the same circumstances as those in which they typically occurIn the absence of which someone would have to perform the skills for them.
Result in increased access to preferred items, activities, and people.
Incidental teaching
Structuring and sequencing learning opportunities so that they occur within a natural setting and which is used to give the learner an opportunity to practice a skill.
Echoic training
Echoic response is presented and successive approximations are reinforced.
Tact training
Pair MO with nonverbal prompts and echoic stimulus.
Intraverbal training
Use MO’s to facilitate stimulus control.
Functional tasks
More closely resembles language as it naturally occurs.
Effective responding does not require induction.
Interspersed and mixed tasks
More closely resembles language as it naturally occursImproves attentiveness.
Reduce the tendency to exhibit behavior that has resulted in escape.
Varied and functional cues
More closely resembles language as it naturally occurs
More likely to result in stimulus generalization
Motivating operations: capturing and contriving
Providing ‘free’ reinforcement.
Reducing the difficulty of tasks and fading-in demands.
Capturing and contriving events
Teaching functional discriminations and alternative responses
May increase the rate of acquisition and result in more useful discriminations.
May decrease ‘rote’ responding and result in more useful responses.
Errorless learning
Acquiringparticular discriminations by means of instruction designed to prevent errors.
Errorless prompting and rapid prompt-fading
Minimizes errors.
May increase the rate of acquisitionMay decrease the tendency to exhibit behaviors that have resulted in escape.
