| Teaching Behavior Analysis, Including Verbal Behavior, in the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates |
| PATRICK E. MCGREEVY (Patrick McGreevy and Associates) |
| Abstract: For the past three years, I have been teaching professional educators, psychologists, speech-language pathologists, parents, and in-home therapists in the United Kingdom to use B.F. Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior and behavior analysis procedures with children and adults with developmental disabilities, including autism. This teaching, which I have recently extended to the United Arab Emirates, includes workshops and consultations. In this paper, I will describe my experiences relative to previous experiences in North America and I will contrast my experiences in the United Kingdom with those in the United Arab Emirates. These experiences will include expectations and reactions of the participants to my teaching and changes in my teaching behavior in these environments. I will also present videotapes showing the outcomes of some of my consultations. |
