It introduces the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) as an effective tool for assessing these skills, based on B.F. Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior and developmental milestones. Show less (-)

This may be due to difficulties in benefiting from generative learning, where existing skills facilitate the acquisition of new ones without direct teaching. Strategies for helping children with autism harness the power of generative learning, identified through milestones in the VB-MAPP assessment, are discussed in this presentation from the 2020 Michigan Autism Conference.

Evaluating the Reliability and Sensitivity of the VB-MAPP as an Outcome Measure in Autism Research
Amin Lotfizadeh & Khrystle Montallana

The findings show good reliability for milestones and moderate reliability for barriers, with some variability in individual domains. When compared to the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, the VB-MAPP demonstrated a greater sensitivity to detecting gains from low-dosage interventions.
