Many early learners with autism and other disabilities struggle with the most basic form of communication and ability to request needs, wants, and help.
"Manding" is a communication skill that is a learner's ability to request consistently and appropriately. It is the foundation of communication initiation and teaches learners that communication is a rewarding behavior.
Participants will learn how to develop and embed a manding program into their traditional curriculum in order to help learners develop basic functional communication.
