The VB-MAPP Set: The Verbal Behavior Milestone Assessment & Placement Program

Detailed Description

The VB-MAPP offers a new generation of the application of B. F. Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior to language assessment for children with autism or other developmental disabilities. The VB-MAPP is an assessment tool, curriculum guide, and skill tracking system that is also based on established developmental milestones, and research from the field of behavior analysis. The VB-MAPP has been field-tested with children with autism, children with other developmental disabilities, and typically developing children.

The VB-MAPP provides a clear and accurate picture of an individual child's abilities, as well as potential language and learning barriers that may be hindering progress. The overall program contains:

The Skills Assessment - Assesses 170 language and social milestones across 3 developmental levels. The milestones are quantifiable and measurable and can be used to document learning, or used for outcome research.

The Barriers Assessment - An assessment of 24 language and learning barriers that may prevent a child from making progress. The Barriers Assessment can be used for intervention planning and to track progress.

The Skills Task Analysis and Tracking System - Contains over 1000 skills that support the milestones, and can be used to record and track progress.

The Placement and IEP Guide - Suggests direction for the intervention program based on the child's profiled strengths and weaknesses.

The Transition Assessment - Identifies the skills needed for successful transition to less restrictive learning environments.

This set contains 1 individual child scoring booklet and 1 Instructor's Manual and Placement Guide.
