If you have not taken one of th ese courses\, please contact Jennifer Vest about alternate prerequisites. Thank you!In this one-day in-person training\, participants will learn abo ut the VB-MAPP assessment and how to assess and administer the test.The VB -MAPP is a criterion-reference assessment tool\, curriculum guide\, and sk ill-tracking system for children with Autism or other children with langua ge delays. There are five components of the VB-MAPP\, which provide a base line level of performance\, direction for intervention\, a system for trac king skill acquisition\, a tool for outcome measures\, and a framework for curriculum planning. The first component is the milestones assessment\, w hich measures the child’s existing verbal and related skills. The assess ment contains 170 measurable learning and language milestones that are seq uenced and balanced across three developmental levels (0-18 months\, 18-30 months\, and 30-48 months). The skills assessed include mand\, tact\, ech oic\, intraverbal\, listener\, motor imitation\, independent play\, social and social play\, visual perceptual and matching-to-sample\, linguistic s tructure\, group and classroom skills\, and early academics. The Milestone s Assessment includes the Early Echoic Skills Assessment (EESA) subtest de veloped by Barbara E. Esch\, Ph.D.\, CCC-SLP\, BCBA. The second component is the VB-MAPP Barriers Assessment\, which assesses 24 common learning and language acquisition barriers faced by children with autism or other deve lopmental disabilities (i.e.\, behavior problems\, failure to generalize\, defective social skills\, etc). The third component is the VB-MAPP Transi tion Assessment\, which contains 18 assessment areas and can help to ident ify whether a child is making meaningful progress and has acquired the ski lls necessary for learning in a less restrictive educational environment. This assessment tool can provide a measurable way for a child’s IEP team to make decisions and set priorities in order to meet the child’s educa tional needs. The fourth component is the VB-MAPP Task Analysis and Skills Tracking\, which further breaks down the skills and serves as a more comp lete and ongoing learning and language skills curriculum guide. The fifth and final component is the VB-MAPP Placement and IEP Goals\, which corresp ond with the four assessments above.This training is designed for people w ho work with any age\, early education students with significant deficits in language skills.
