This DVD explores manding and how to teach Verbal Behavior in the natural environment. This volume specifically addresses how to help parents and professionals teach non-vocal children how to use sign language to ask for things that they want, first by using many prompts and then fading them systematically so that your child learns how to use sign language to ask for things independently and spontaneously. The chapters include: Natural Environment Teaching; Teaching the First Vocal Mands using Sign Language; Guidelines for Teaching the First Mands; and Sign Guidelines. Each type of mand is explicitly defined and clearly demonstrated as you learn how to teach them to your students. The DVD is loaded with video examples of actual children learning each type of mand, as it provides important guidelines for teaching the mand, prompt fading strategies, strategies for problem solving, and how to make manding easy and fun for your child.
