What You Teach and How You Teach Matters: Implementing an Applied Verbal Behavior Model in Classrooms becomes clinically important the moment a team has to turn good intentions into reliable action inside busy classrooms and teacher-managed routines. In What You Teach and How You Teach Matters: Implementing an Applied Verbal Behavior Model in Classrooms, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer case conceptualization, better instructional targets, and stronger generalization, not in abstract discussion alone.

Many children with autism benefit from intensive intervention to learn critical skills such as communication, play, social, and daily living skills. Designing treatment plans that prioritize meaningful skills and implementing effective and efficient procedures that achieve these goals is critical. The applied verbal behavior (AVB) approach is an approach to intervention that prioritizes a strong, positive, therapeutic relationship, active child engagement, socially motivated interactions, and efficient programming to produce meaningful outcomes quickly. This presentation will provide an overview of the components of the AVB approach and outcomes of a systems-wide implementation of AVB in classrooms serving children and adolescents with autism and related developmental disabilities.
