A Rapid Training Procedure to Teach Staff How to Implement Verbal Behavior Intensive Teaching Sessions
MARY LYNCH BARBERA (Pennsylvania Verbal Behavior Project)
Description: This workshop will give a detailed overview of a three-step procedure created to teach staff to name the verbal operants fluently and to utilize errorless and error correction teaching procedures. These important prerequisite skills are needed before staff can successfully implement applied behavior analysis (ABA) and verbal behavior (VB) intensive teaching sessions with students with autism.
Objectives:
This workshop will achieve the following objectives: 1. Participants will fluently name the verbal operants. 2. Partipants will demonstrate fluent errorless and error correction and generalization run-throughs. 3. Participants will leave the workshop with the skills needed to teach the three-step procedure to others including staff members and parents.
Activities:
The workshop will include a lecture, simulation activities, role playing, and discussion.
Audience:
Behavior analysts, psychologists, teachers and others interested in learning the skills needed to implement ABA and VB intensive teaching sessions with students with autism.
Level: Intermediate

Inner Behavior: Changing Thoughts, Feelings, and Urges
ABIGAIL B. CALKIN (Calkin Consulting Center), EMMA F. DOUGLAS (The Treehouse Trust)
Description: Thoughts, feelings, and urges are inner behaviors that a person can observe, count, and change. Substantial research from about 1,000 charts over the past 40 years shows that behavioral observation and methods can change a person's inner behaviors. Therapists and teachers encounter the need to make or help others use these techniques in therapeutic, educational, and home settings. The workshop reviews the history of of this particular field and includes charted examples from people who have counted and changed their inner behaviors, as well as a brief look at the statistics that support the similarities between inner and outer behaviors. There are some data from soldiers with posttraumatic stress disorder. The workshop also teaches how to use the standard celeration chart to record the frequencies and make the correct decisions to change these inner behaviors.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will have learned to do the following: 1. state the theoretical and research background on observing and changing inner behavior; 2. define thoughts, feelings, and urges and name specific examples of each; 3. practice writing positive thoughts, feelings, and urges at 30-35 per min and say them at about 50-75 per min; 4. count and record some specific inner behaviors for the duration of the workshop, which can be continued or revised later; 5. discuss and develop a plan to change inner behaviors of self or client.
Activities:
The primary focus is to identify, list, count, and record inner behaviors, and then to learn how to practice daily and thus change to the desired behavior. Each participant will develop a written plan to use this technique with a person or group.
Audience:
This workshop is for clinicians and graduate students in behavior analysis and psychology, special education teachers who work with students with behavior disorders, and others interested in changing inner behaviors.
Level: Intermediate
# 270 Panel Discussion BACB CE Offered

Texas Ballroom Salon B (Grand Hyatt) EDC; Applied Behavior Analysis
BACB CE Offered. CE Instructor: Alison Moors, M.A., BCBA
Professional Development Series: An Introduction to Precision Teaching
Chair: Kendra L. Rickard (University of Nevada, Reno)
JENNIFER TESTA (Morningside Academy)
KERRI K. MILYKO (University of Nevada, Reno)
ALISON L. MOORS (Academy for Precision Learning)
Abstract: Precision teaching (PT) is a subfield of behavior analysis that has at its core a measurement system. The standard celeration chart (SCC) is the hallmark of precision teaching, and through its use, discoveries of relationships between component behaviors and complex repertoires have been made. The most efficient and effective methods for establishing complex repertoires have also been discovered, and a truly functional definition of mastery has emerged. This symposium will include an overview of PT and the SCC, as well as discuss applications of PT in various settings with a variety of different learners and behaviors. The benefit of combining PT with other effective instructional techniques, such as Direct Instruction and Curriculum-Based Measurement, will also be discussed.
