The Verbal Behavior Approach: How to Teach Children with Autism and Related Disorders de Mary Lynch Barbera

The Verbal Behavior Approach: How to Teach Children with Autism and Related Disorders

Autor Mary Lynch Barbera Contribuţii de Tracy Rasmussen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mai 2007

Adresată părinților, educatorilor și terapeuților aflați la început de drum, The Verbal Behavior Approach oferă o metodologie clară pentru intervenția în cazul copiilor cu autism sau tulburări conexe, în special pentru cei cu abilități verbale minime. Suntem de părere că forța acestui manual rezidă în dubla perspectivă a autoarei, Mary Lynch Barbera: rigoarea clinică a unui analist comportamental și empatia unui părinte care a aplicat aceste strategii în viața de zi cu zi. Observăm că textul demitizează terminologia tehnică a analizei comportamentale aplicate (ABA), făcând-o accesibilă fără a-i sacrifica precizia științifică.

Structura volumului urmărește o progresie logică, de la conceptele fundamentale (ABC-ul ABA) și evaluarea inițială, până la tehnici avansate de predare a operanților locali. Capitolele sunt centrate pe acțiune, punând un accent deosebit pe „manding” (capacitatea de a cere) ca fundament al comunicării. Spre deosebire de Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis, care oferă o perspectivă academică vastă asupra istoriei și eticii ABA, lucrarea de față este un ghid procedural axat pe implementarea rapidă. Totodată, aceasta completează perspectiva oferită de Promoting Language for Learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder, adăugând protocoale specifice pentru auto-îngrijire, precum deprinderea utilizării toaletei, elemente esențiale pentru independența copilului.

În contextul operei sale, această carte reprezintă fundamentul teoretic și practic pe care autoarea l-a extins ulterior în Turn Autism Around. Dacă lucrarea ulterioară se concentrează pe intervenția timpurie și semnele premergătoare diagnosticului, The Verbal Behavior Approach rămâne resursa de referință pentru dezvoltarea limbajului prin tehnici de transfer și predare fără erori, fiind un instrument indispensabil în bibliografia oricărui practicant din sfera educației speciale.

Despre autor

Mary Lynch Barbera, Ph.D., RN, BCBA-D, este asistent medical înregistrat și analist comportamental certificat la nivel doctoral. Între 2003 și 2010, a condus Pennsylvania Verbal Behavior Project, un proiect de anvergură ce a implementat tehnicile de comportament verbal în sălile de clasă din întregul stat. Este fondatoarea filialei Autism Society of America din Berks County și o prezență influentă în formarea profesioniștilor din domeniu. Experiența sa este profund ancorată în realitate, fiind mama unui fiu diagnosticat cu autism, ceea ce îi permite să traducă principiile complexe ale lui B.F. Skinner într-un limbaj practic și plin de compasiune.

Descriere

The Verbal Behavior (VB) approach is a form of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), that is based on B.F. Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior and works particularly well with children with minimal or no speech abilities. In this book Dr. Mary Lynch Barbera draws on her own experiences as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and also as a parent of a child with autism to explain VB and how to use it.

This step-by-step guide provides an abundance of information about how to help children develop better language and speaking skills, and also explains how to teach non-vocal children to use sign language. An entire chapter focuses on ways to reduce problem behavior, and there is also useful information on teaching toileting and other important self-help skills, that would benefit any child.

This book will enable parents and professionals unfamiliar with the principles of ABA and VB to get started immediately using the Verbal Behavior approach to teach children with autism and related disorders.

Recenzii

“The Verbal Behavior Approach serves as a practical and thorough guide on the principles of using the Verbal Behavior Approach for children with autism. Difficult terms are translated into easy-to-understand layman's terms, which would be very useful for first- time learners and practicing clinicians unfamiliar with the Verbal Behavior Approach... This book will explain not only to parents, but also to Speech- Language Pathologists and other professionals how to reinforce and encourage communication from children with autism and other disabilities... This book is a “must have” for Speech- Language Pathologists interested in learning about and utilizing the Verbal Behavior Approach. A number of highly specific therapy techniques are presented as well as other relevant topics such as reinforcement and behavior. Packed with useful information and tips, this book is ideal for Speech- Language Pathologists across both clinic and educational settings. The information that is provided in this text is comprehensive, concise and practical and Speech- Language Pathologists will benefit from its wealth of resources included in the appendices. As the need for services with children with autism spectrum disorder continue to grow, Speech- Language Pathologists will require a concise, easy to read resource as this one to become familiar with this approach to effectively teach language to students with autism.”
“This book serves to educate family members exceptionally well on several of the most important concepts and foundational ideas of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Ms. Barbera does an outstanding job of explaining why the ABC's (Antecedents-Behaviors-Consequences) of behavior are so important to understand. She is especially good at explaining the importance of determining the function of challenging behaviors. This will help parents as they try to unravel the seeming mysteries of children's behaviors. She also clearly outlines how treatments must match the functions of behaviors, and how appropriate replacement skills must be taught to address the same function... the book is an excellent source of information on Applied Behavior Analysis and on Verbal Behavior. It serves to clear up some major sources of consumer confusion, most notably about Verbal Behavior's embeddedness within ABA. There are countless helpful and well-grounded suggestions for parents who are interested in using this approach with their children.”
“This book provides a friendly voice that will assist parents, educators, and other professionals in utilizing these techniques with children with autism. It is a must have for anyone who knows, lives with, or teaches a child with autism spectrum disorder.”
“The Verbal Behavior Approach is a wonderful book! I typically get glazed over with the intensity of ABA/VB. This was an easy read that provided clear-cut, practical information that families and professionals can effectively use.”
“This book accomplishes many things that few such works do–it pairs sound research with concrete examples; is accessible to the expert and novice alike, and touches the heart without sacrificing professionalism.”
“As a dedicated and caring parent, Mary has demonstrated her commitment to all children with autism by writing such a thoughtful and useful book.”
“Written with style, warmth and real know-how, Mary Barbera has managed to combine valuable therapeutic advice with her own eloquent story.”
“An amazing book that combines detailed instructions for parents on how to get started using ABA/VB with a little bit of emotional support to let them know that they are not alone.”
“An easy to follow guide that works. The Verbal Behavior approach is motivation driven, creating the desire to learn.”
“One of the most valuable books for parents of children with autism since Let Me Hear Your Voice by Catherine Maurice.”
“Barbera is not only accurate, but easy to understand... her personal experience in this area makes her explanations and instructions entertaining and easy to apply.”
“I taught a class on verbal behavior once a year for 25 years. How I wish I could have had this book during that time. It would have made my instruction so much more effective.”
“With clear, concise explanations and examples, heartfelt stories and helpful resources listed throughout, Mary has provided the community with a nice description of teaching verbal behavior. Every parent of a newly diagnosed child should own a copy of this book.”
“A succinct, intelligible tour of an effective intervention for autistic children through both speech and non-verbal communication. VB is a refinement of B.F. Skinner's pioneering work on language and operates under the conviction that expressive language is behavioral, rather than purely cognitive. Barbera takes Skinner's arcane language and renders it not only clear but convincing”
“Using a behavioral analysis of language as described by B.F. Skinner, this approach teaches language across functions, which Mary explains with easy-to-understand examples and language. Written from the perspective of both a parent and a professional this book will prove valuable to a variety of readers.”
“I highly recommend Mary's book. It is excellent! Although it's very short and easy to read, it seems to cover everything! I'm recommending it to every parent and professional I come in contact with.”
“The Verbal Behavior Approach provides useful information and resources for immediate application, accomplishing the book's main objective, providing for rapid implementation of an AVB program.”
