The course addresses common challenges faced in early intervention and verbal behavior programs, particularly the tendency to implement mand training without adequate consideration of prerequisites, modality selection, or programming sequence. Over five sessions, participants explore foundational concepts such as prerequisite assessments, efficient prompting strategies, programming order, and generalization techniques. The course also introduces strategies for extending basic manding to more complex skills like manding for information and integrating functional communication training (FCT) to reduce problem behavior.
