Automation is increasingly being adopted by autism and special needs therapy practices. At the ABAI annual conference in Chicago this month, a new Verbal Behavior Curriculum (VBC) will be unveiled on Mundo Pato, Inc.'s Unitus Therapy Intelligence (UnitusTI) cloud-based platform. The highly-anticipated curriculum was developed by Drs. Gladys Williams and Richard Laitiner.

Because autism and developmental disorder prevalence is growing at an alarming rate in the US and abroad, interest in impactful solutions is also growing. "Verbal behavior is a primary area of concern in these individuals," Dr. Laitinen explained in a recent interview, "and Verbal Behavior programming has been demonstrated empirically to be effective in remediating this barrier to typical functioning." The experts chose UnitusTI cloud, "because it gave us the opportunity to make our curriculum available on a platform that allows us to continually improve access to and ease of use of the curriculum," Dr. Williams added.

When B.F. Skinner published his book Verbal Behavior in 1957, the study of behavior as it relates to various verbal expression was theoretical and in its infancy. Verbal behavior instruction has since evolved to a robust and respected field validated by voluminous scientific study, including the highly respected research done by Drs. Williams and Laitinen. It is now widely recognized that a verbal behavior based approach to treatment of individuals with autism and developmental disorders is a primary method for achieving socially significant improvement in language as well as cognitive and social capacities.
