Effective language-based (verbal behavior) intervention depends on choosing the right learning objectives — and the right teaching activities to achieve them. This 2-hour recorded webcast of Dr. James Partington's Critical Components of Comprehensive Language-Based Instructional Programs for Children with Autism reviews the critical components for providing effective language-based interventions within public school classrooms and ABA centers, and addresses the importance of prioritizing both the selection of specific learning objectives and the corresponding teaching activities in order to achieve successful outcomes.
