Abstract: Most behavior analysts have not received explicit training in speech development; however, speech is amenable to the principles of behavior and a common goal in the treatment plans of learners.  In this interactive presentation, dually certified speech-language pathologists/board certified behavior analysts provide practical behavior analytic tips to address the most common questions they have received in their careers integrating the disciplines of speech-language pathology and behavior analysis.  Topics include increasing airflow to increase the volume of speech, establishing vocal communication through both direct and indirect techniques, decreasing rate, and improving intelligibility by layering visual, tactile, and/or physical prompting to verbal stimuli. For every common challenge area, multiple different strategies will be offered in addition to step-by-step instructions for implementing them. The techniques described will be clearly presented and immediately applicable to individuals with communication deficits ranging from the absence of vocal language to mild speech errors.
