Promoting Language for Learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Verbal Behavior Guide for Practitioners introduces the core principles of verbal behavior and provides practical, evidence-based strategies for teaching language skills to children with autism in applied settings.The book opens with a section that orients the reader to a functional approach to language, best practices for assessing verbal repertoires, and common models for arranging language-training environments. The second section focuses on teaching critical verbal operants and derived language skills. The final section addresses professional matters relevant to practitioners, including the importance of basic and translational research in verbal behavior, considerations related to diversity, and best practices for interdisciplinary collaboration. Grounded in the science of behavior analysis and aligned with Skinner’s (1957) analysis of verbal behavior, this book equips professionals with tools to assess language, design effective teaching environments, and build essential repertoires like manding, tacting, and conversation skills. Intended for professionals and students alike, this text is broad enough to support graduate-level instruction and specific enough to serve as a valuable reference for practicing clinicians.

"This volume is far more than a 'how-to' manual of procedures: It includes discussions of the conceptual foundations of the science of verbal behavior, its relation to other disciplines, professional challenges, and deep analyses, not only of the elementary verbal operant classes, but of multiple control, the behavior of the listener, and emergent relations. Moreover, the extraordinary cast of participating authors includes the foremost experts in the field."David C. Palmer, PhD, Western New England University"This book provides an excellent overview of recent scientific research in verbal behavior with a focus on its clinical application. I cannot think of a better resource that embodies the scientist-practitioner model, and I believe both researchers and practitioners would benefit from reading it."Mirela Cengher, PhD, BCBA-D, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
