Language and Learning Skills Program

This program is intended for students who need basic language and academic skills. This program provides intensive ABA instruction in the areas of language and critical learning skills for children with autism or other developmental disabilities. The curriculum we use covers a comprehensive review of 544 skills from 25 skill areas including language, social interaction, self-help, academic, and motor skills which most typically developing children acquire prior to entering kindergarten. The task items within each skill area are arranged from simple to more complex tasks. Expressive language skills are assessed based upon the behavioral analysis of language as presented by Dr. B.F. Skinner in his book, Verbal Behavior (1957). Students’ progress is carefully tracked and analyzed through daily data collection and weekly data review to ensure adequate progress.
