CEU: Mand Training- Effective Methods to Teach Functional Communication

BCBA CEUs: 2- BACB General QABA CEUs: 2- General IBAO CEUs: 2 General APA/CESA: 2 General (Home Study) Description: This 120-minute recorded webcast will review the literature on assessing and determining appropriate communication modalities, provide a task analysis for each type of communication modality, highlight video examples of communicating across modalities and discuss the pros and cons across various communication modalities. Many individuals with limited functional communication lack the important skill of manding. Being able to request for one's own desires and needs is a powerful skill, and without this skill, quality of life may be detrimental. Being able to vocally mand is highly desirable, however, it is not the only way to communicate. American Sign Language, modified sign language, picture exchange systems, and augmentative communication are all various forms of communication. While mand training is similar across modalities, there are unique needs when developing a mand training intervention program for each communication modality. Learning Objectives: Identify and select from 5 communication modalities based on consumer needs Conduct a task analysis related to the communication needs of individuals Design an intervention plan to increase functional communication   NOTE: CE’s claimed on any training completed can only be claimed once.
