EGSE 5153 - Communication, Language, and Social Skills (3)


This course for ABA covers the development of communication, language and social skills for typically developing children, as well as the deficits seen in these areas in children with disabilities. Students will learn the link between communication and behavior, with an emphasis on Skinner’s Verbal Behavior model. They will also learn the importance of developing functional communication and instructional strategies to develop communication, language and social skills. Research-based interventions such as social narratives, video-modeling and functional communication training will also be discussed.
