Course Description

Most behavior analysts have not received explicit training in speech development; however, it's amenable to the principles of behavior and a common goal in the treatment plans of learners. In this presentation, a dually certified SLP/BCBA provides practical behavior analytic tips to address the most common questions she's received across her fourteen-year career integrating the disciplines of speech-language pathology and behavior analysis. Topics include increasing volume, decreasing rate, establishing vocal communication, and improving intelligibility. Strategies described will be clearly presented and immediately applicable to a variety of learners.

  2. Explain how the disciplines of speech-language pathology and behavior analysis can be integrated to improve communication outcomes.
