Please join the Allegheny Intermediate Unit's Training and Consultation Team for this three-day, in person training series.

The Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) is one option to consider for assessment and program guidance when supporting elementary age students with autism and other individuals who demonstrate language delays. The VB-MAPP is a criterion-referenced assessment, curriculum guide and skills tracking system. It combines principles of ABA and Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior to provide a behaviorally based language assessment program for all children with language delays.


Participants will learn how to administer the assessment, interpret results, and design instructional programming.


Follow up support in the district is available to teams to ensure effective practices are in place and address individual student programming needs.
