Introduction
This document is part of a package of resources (spreadsheets, project files, PDFs, tools) that together
act as a kit for applying Verbal Behavior Analysis.
Verbal Behavior Analysis (VBA) is a method of inducing language in children with speech delays.

The authors
We are the parents of a child diagnosed with a mild form of autism. Through intensive ABA training
our child has made good progress but his language was still lagging behind. We switched to VBA as a
treatment for our son's speech delay and the speed of development has grown tremendously. We
compiled the materials contained by this package for our son's treatment corresponding to the stage of
Basic Listener and Basic Speaker.
More information about us as well as how we use VBA for our son's speech delay can be extracted
from our blog at http://mariusfilip.blogspot.com.

The reason
Verbal Behavior Analysis (VBA) is the latest treatment available in the public domain falling into the
field of applied Verbal Behavior. The cornerstone book of VBA is Verbal Behavior Analysis by R.
Douglas Greer and Denise E. Ross.
While being of immense value to parents and therapists, the VBA book is difficult to read partly
because the material itself is difficult. This package attempts to address this issue by presenting the
same information into a more accessible format and from different angles. Also, VBA requires a
significant amount of supporting materials. At this time, the VBA package contains ready-to-use
materials for a certain number of protocols.

Term definitions
Before proceeding any further, here are some definitions we will use throughout this document:
• Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the science of analyzing and modifying behavior based
on the principles of behaviorism.
• Lovaas ABA is the basic technique for treating autism, rooted in ABA and pioneered by Ivar
Lovaas.
• Verbal Behavior (VB) is the theory of communication between living organisms created by B.
F. Skinner. According to this theory, human language is a behavior serving functional
purposes. It appears to be shaped in the same way as all the other human behaviors.
• Verbal Operants are, according to the VB theory, the basic means by which the verbal
behavior responds to or modifies the environment. The verbal operants offer a functional view
upon language. This functional view is further used and expanded by VBA to treat speech
delays.
• The Verbal Behavior Approach to ABA (ABA/VB) is the application of VB principles to
Lovaas ABA techniques. ABA/VB was pioneered by Mark L. Sundberg and James W.
Partington. ABA/VB recognizes and makes use of verbal operants to induce, correct and
expand speech in children with autism.
• Verbal Behavior Analysis (VBA) is the technique put together by R. Douglas Greer. It builds
upon ABA/VB in order to address the issue of language in a more broad and thorough manner.
The novelty of VBA consists in verbal stages and verbal components.
• The VBA book refers to Verbal Behavior Analysis by R. Douglas Greer and Denise E. Ross
(ISBN-10: 0205458378, ISBN-13: 978-0205458370).

Resources
Anyone using this package needs the following resources:
• Verbal Behavior Analysis by R. Douglas Greer and Denise E. Ross (ISBN-10: 0205458378,
ISBN-13: 978-0205458370) is a must have.
• Verbal Behavior by B. F. Skinner (ISBN-10: 0874115914, ISBN-13: 978-0874115918) is
useful to understand the underlying theory beneath ABA/VB and VBA.
• Teaching Language to Children with Autism or Other Developmental Disabilities by
Mark L. Sundberg (ISBN-10: 0968098509, ISBN-13: 978-0968098509) is useful to
understand ABA/VB which VBA is based on.
• The Verbal Behavior Approach: How To Teach Children with Autism and Related
Disorders by Mary Barbera and Tracy Rasmussen is a more accessible account on what
ABA/VB is.

Installing the VBA package

The VBA package is a zip file that requires no special installation. Just unzip the zip file into a new
directory while preserving the original subdirectory structure and you have the package.
OBS: the VBA package comes in different flavors, depending on language. Each flavor is
identified by a language label in the name of the zip file: en for English, ro for Romanian,
and so on (see page 18).

How to use the VBA package

Assuming the VBA package has been expanded, the easiest way to use it is to follow a few steps:
1. Get an overview of what VBA is.
2. Get an overview of the VBA protocols.
3. Understand the accompanying tools and resources.
4. Design a therapy plan.
5. Conduct the therapy according to the plan.

Getting an overview of VBA

The simplest way to get an overview of what VBA is is to look into the VBA.xls file. In that file you
shall see presented three important elements:
• The terms of VBA It is important to acquire the precise terms of VBA before
commencing the VBA therapy. The [Glossary] sheet
explains these terms.
• The verbal milestones According to VBA, the verbal behavior develops through
several stages, called milestones. It is important to
understand those milestones. The [Milestones] sheet
explains them.
• The components of each milestone Each milestone exhibits several verbal capabilities, named
components. The [Components] sheet presents them.

 VBA Readme

Getting an overview of the VBA protocols

The VBA therapy consists of a set of protocols that the teacher has to work with the student. The
easiest way to get an overview of the protocols is is to look into the VBA.xls file, sheet
[Protocols].
That sheet lists (again) all components of verbal development along with the protocols necessary to
induce those capabilities. A reference with the related pages of the VBA book is included.
Anytime the user needs to get detailed information upon a certain protocol, he can read VBA
Protocols.xls which contains the protocols in detail. After two initial sheets ([Contents] and
[Resources]), this workbook allocates one sheet per protocol. These sheets will become handy
when designing the therapy.

 VBA Readme

Understanding the tools and resources

Some protocols of the VBA therapy have strong support in the VBA package in terms of software,
scripts, tables and spreadsheets. It is important to understand the liaison between these protocols and
the tools in order to take advantage of what's offered by the package to obtain the most efficient
therapy.
The easiest way to understand this relationship is to look into VBA Protocols.xls. Each protocols has a
dedicated sheet in this workbook. Some of the protocols have a blue area named How to use the VBA
package that tells which other resources the protocol has, as shown in the image below (red area):

The image above shows that the Sensory Matching protocol has additional support in the package.
You should check each protocol for such support.

 VBA Readme

Designing a therapy plan

According to the VBA research, the verbal development of a child goes through several milestones,
from Pre-Listener to Verbal Mediated Problem Solver (see VBA.xls, sheet [Milestones]). By
the same token, each milestone exhibits several components or capabilities (see sheet
[Components]).
The goal of the VBA therapy is to move the child with speech delays through the milestones by
inducing the corresponding capabilities in him. The main tool to achieve this is the VBA protocol,
meaning that each capability is induced by one or more protocols (see VBA.xls, sheet
[Protocols]).
Capabilities do not stand in isolation, they have certain prerequisites: either some capabilities must be
acquired in advance or some protocols have to be completed first. These prerequisites establish a
network of constraints within the set of capabilities and protocols (see VBA.xls, sheet
[Prerequisites]).
Once these constraints have been understood, designing a simple therapy plan is easy with the
following algorithm:
1. List all the protocols specified by the VBA therapy and put them into an imaginary ordered set
named Unplanned. The order within the set is not important, but it must not change during
the algorithm except for the steps 3.ii.a) and 3.iii.a) from below.
2. Consider an ordered set named Planned containing the planned protocols. This ordered set is
initially empty.
3. As long as the Unplanned set is not empty, do:
i. Pick up the first protocol from the Unplanned set.
ii. If the chosen protocol has no prerequisites or all his prerequisites are in the Planned set,
then:
a) Remove the protocol from the Unplanned set and append it to the end of the
Planned ordered set.
iii. If the chosen protocol has prerequisites that are not in the Planned set, then:
a) Move the protocol from the beginning of the Unplanned set to the end.
4. Begin teaching the protocols to the child in the order given by the Planned set.
Depending on the child, each protocol takes time. It is possible (and strongly recommended) to allocate
more than one protocol per day. In such case, simply choose more than one protocol from the
Planned set, while keeping in mind that no protocol should be taught before all its prerequisites have
completed.

 VBA Readme

Automating therapy planning

While the algorithm from above is simple and effective, teaching a certain protocol is not a monolithic
action. Depending on how the child responds to the therapy, each protocol may develop into many sub-
tasks that tackle particular difficulties that may arise during the teaching process.
For this reason, keeping track of all the teaching tasks may become a daunting task. We recommend the
usage of automated methods of planning, such as the ones embodied by Microsoft Project or
OpenProj.
For this reason the VBA package provides VBA.mpp. While VBA.mpp contains all the protocols with
the dependencies among them, you cannot use it as it stands (see page 16).
We included in the package our beginning plan as a model, but the actual plan will develop into
something much more complex than that. The evolving plan for our son will be of little use to you
because each child is different.
Hence, the best option is to become proficient in using Microsoft Project (or an equivalent software)
and develop a plan that suits the needs of your child.

 VBA Readme

Conducting the therapy

Conducting the therapy should follow the plan developed according to the guidelines presented at page
8. There are a few things to keep in mind when conducting the therapy:
• Teach each protocol thoroughly until the specified criterion is fully met. Assuming the child is
more proficient than he truly is is a great danger.
• Commence a protocol only after all its prerequisites are fully met. Do not jump over the stages,
those stages of verbal development have been deduced from serious research.
• The child may experience a true explosion of language in parallel with what's going on in the
therapy. This explosion of language may exhibit advanced and spontaneous linguistic abilities
not yet trained, giving the impression that the child is capable to acquire language on his own.
While such explosion of language is normal and is a good sign, never assume that the child can
attain full recovery on his own. Autism is a serious brain disorder and the recovery from it
requires hard work until the very end, no matter how good the signs are along the way.
Of all the dangers facing a parent of a child with autism, perhaps the greatest of all is the third from
above. Keeping a good spirit, being optimistic and rejoicing with each progress is important, but
perhaps it is more important to maintain a realistic view over what's been achieved and what is left to
do – even in the last, most advanced stages.
According to the VBA therapy, the stage of Basic Speaker is certified by a battery of tests (see
VBA.xls, sheet [Probing Basic Speaker]). It is important to certify the child with these tests
before concluding that he has attained the level of Early (Basic) Speaker.

 VBA Readme

◦ .\support\images contains image files for the Intensive Tacting Protocol.

The following subsections give more details on a few important components of the VBA package.

- 13 -
 VBA Readme

VBA.xls
VBA.xls, along with VBA Protocols.xls, is the centerpiece of the package. It contains the distilled
information of the VBA book with a focus on functionality. That is, we extracted from the VBA book
what is necessary to design a treatment plan while leaving behind other information (such as
experimental results and statistic data).

Reading VBA.xls
There are several software products that can be used to read VBA.xls:
• Microsoft Excel XP or later. This is the best option since VBA.xls was created with this
product.
• Microsoft Excel Viewer that can be downloaded for free from www.microsoft.com. This
product cannot modify Excel files.
• Calc of the OpenOffice.org package that can be downloaded for free from
www.openoffice.org. There are occasional incompatibilities between OpenOffice.org and xls
files.
If none of the products from above are available, someone can simply read VBA.pdf instead of
VBA.xls.

- 14 -
 VBA Readme

Understanding VBA.xls
VBA.xls contains the following sheets:
• Glossary is a collection of terms. Since the VBA book is not consistent in how it names various
entities, we thought that such glossary is necessary. OBS: one should not overlook the glossary
existing in the book itself!
• Milestones contains the verbal milestones. According to VBA, people with speech delays must
parse a certain set of verbal milestones, in a certain order, to acquire language. It is theorized
that people without speech delays go through the same milestones, but further research is
needed in this direction.
• Components contains the verbal components of the milestones. A verbal component is a
collection of verbal abilities which have been detected through VBA research to have key
importance in the development of an individual.
• Prerequisites contains the dependencies among the verbal components. The goal of VBA
treatment is to induce the verbal components in the order dictated by these dependencies.
• Protocols contains the procedures to induce the verbal components. VBA names such
procedures protocols. Protocols are to VBA what programs are to Lovaas ABA. Because the
protocols are dispersed throughout the book, the rightmost column contains the pages
containing each procedure.
• Generic Protocols contains the protocol patterns that VBA uses in various particular forms.
Unlike ABA programs, VBA protocols are not standalone. Each protocol is an instance of a
pattern. We call these patterns generic protocols and document them into their own sheet within
VBA.xls.

VBA Protocols.xls
VBA Protocols.xls is a companion for VBA.xls, as it details each of the VBA protocols. It is intended
to be used by the VBA therapists for quickly refreshing their memory while preparing the VBA
sessions for their students.
Understanding VBA Protocols.xls is easy: each protocol occupies one sheet whereas the first sheet
contains a summary of all. While VBA Protocols.xls is explicit enough, it is strongly recommended to
refer to the Verbal Behavior Analysis book when first parsing it.
The sheet named Resources contains the resources we used to compile VBA Protocols.xls.

- 15 -
 VBA Readme

VBA.mpp
This is a Microsoft Project file that may be used as a starting point to develop a fully fledged therapy
plan.
Someone may use the following software products to read and/or change VBA.mpp:
• Microsoft Project, version 2003 or later. This is the best option since VBA.mpp was created
with Microsoft Project 2003.
• One of the many mpp viewers available. OBS: viewers do not allow changing VBA.mpp.
• OpenProj that can be downloaded for free from http://openproj.org. This is a replacement of
Microsoft Project, although there may be incompatibilities between OpenProj and some
elements in mpp files.

Reading VBA.mpp
The structure of the file is the following (each bullet represents a layer of nodes in the task tree):
• Total is the root of the task tree. Use it to monitor the total amount of necessary work, the work
remained, the total duration of the project and so on.
◦ The second layer corresponds to the verbal stages: pre-listener, listener, speaker, speaker-
listener exchanges with others, speaker as own listener, reader, writer, writer as own
reader, verbally mediated problem solver.
▪ The third layer corresponds to verbal components or, in some cases, to groupings of
components into basic/advanced.
• The fourth layer corresponds to those verbal components gathered into the
basic/advanced groupings from above.
Besides the work breakdown structure (WBS) from above, VBA.mpp interlinks the tasks
corresponding to verbal components according to the Prerequisites sheet of VBA.xls.

Changing VBA.mpp
The tasks corresponding to verbal components are the “leaves” of the project tree. When transforming
VBA.mpp into a therapy plan, these tasks need to get broken into smaller sub-tasks, corresponding to
protocols.
One has to keep the following in mind when breaking down the leaf tasks into smaller pieces:
• After breaking a task corresponding to a verbal component, assign working resources, amount
of work and duration to each new leaf task.
• After breaking all the desired tasks, carry out a project leveling in order to obtain a schedule for
the next period.

 VBA Readme

Developing a therapy plan

VBA.mpp does not represent a therapy plan as it stands, but it can turn into one. In order to develop a
therapy plan based on VBA.mpp, one needs to know how to use Microsoft Project quite well.
OBS: we believe that Microsoft Project 2002 Frequently Asked Questions, which is part
of the Microsoft Project 2002 kit, is really useful when learning how to use Microsoft
Project.

The development of the therapy plan doesn't have to take place at once. It is better to develop a little,
apply the developed therapy, develop a little more, apply the newly developed therapy, and so on.
Thanks to the excellent leveling capability of Microsoft Project, one can change or extend the plan
while the therapy project is under way.

VBA Videos.xls
This file contains lists of links to video feeds published on the internet. These feeds are elevant to
Verbal Behavior.
The only source of videos, to this date (11/30/08) is YouTube. Future sources will receive a separate
worksheet in the document.
The video feeds get categorized in a way relevant to Verbal Behavior. The categories are self-
explanatory. To this date (11/30/08), there are 71 minutes of video in total which provide a good head
start.
The quality varies with each feed – meaning that some of them are suboptimal. For optimal results I
recommend seeking better and professionally edited video aids, such as the DVDs sold by Different
Roads to Learning.

 VBA Readme

Language-specific material
Verbal behavior involves speech, hence it is inherently language-dependent. Because the sound files
are particularly big, we decided to build separate packages, one for each language.

Available languages
We provide packages for two languages, one for Romanian (ro) and the other one English (en):
• The Romanian package is complete and it may be used out of the box1.
• The English package is only partially complete. Although fluent in English, we are not native
speakers of that language hence we did not record language-specific sound files.
The English package needs the following elements in order to become complete:
• Sound files recorded by a native speaker. We believe that the sounds in the VBA language
packs should reflect the true reality of language in order to help a child with speech disabilities.
• The set of paronymic words extracted from a dictionary of paronyms of the English language.
If you are an English native speaker and you are willing to contribute to the completion of the English
package, or if you want to contribute to the package for another language, please contact us. You can
find contact information from the profile found at http://mariusfilip.blogspot.com.

Other languages
It is possible to create packages for other languages. This is a two step process:
1. Create the directory structure for the new language. Use the MakeLang.cmd utility from
.\support\tools for this purpose.
2. Populate the directories with the necessary file.
The best way is to download an existing and complete package, take a look at it and try to duplicate the
content for your language.
To remove an existing language use the DelLang.cmd utility from .\support\tools.

Merging languages
It is possible to have two or more languages on the same computer: download the packages for each
language and unzip them into the same directory. The common part will get overwritten while the
language-specific part will get placed at language-specific location.

1 We will add more sounds over time, tough. Each addition will generate a new minor version of the packages.

- 18 -
 VBA Readme

Future development
This package will evolve over time. Future versions will contain:
• Material for the Advanced Speaker stages of the VBA therapy.
• Minor fixes and improvements.
In order to mark the differences between various versions, the packages receive a version marker in the
form of .MM.m where M is the major version number, preceded by 0 if smaller than 10 and m is the
minor version number. The major versions start at 01 and the minor versions start at 0.
Example: Verbal Behavior Analysis.en.03.1.zip represents the second (1+1) minor
version occurring after the third major version of the VBA package for English.

The above mentioned scheme is the simple and effective while being already familiar to people who
use versioned software.

Summary
This document is an introduction to the VBA package crafted by the parents of an autistic child. The
package is a collection of files that present, in a more accessible manner, the information that's within
the VBA book along with other useful resources.
The user of the package receives several Microsoft Excel files containing essential information on the
VBA book, their PDF equivalents, a Microsoft Project file that can be used as a starting point to
develop a fully fledged therapy plan, as well as a list of video feeds on the internet relevant to Verbal
Behavior. In addition, the user gets supporting materials like sound files, image files, predefined
sessions as well as internally developed software tools accompanied by users' guides.
This package with evolve over time. The naming convention of the successive versions follows the
generally accepted rules of versioning used by the software industry.
