This book demonstrates how to apply the Verbal Behavior (VB) approach, an intervention used in conjunction with the Lovaas Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), with children with autism. The authors explain how VB fits in with existing ABA intervention to increase or improve speech and non-verbal communication, as well as self-help skills, in children with minimal or no speech abilities. Using this approach allows parents and professionals to build bridges by identifying the particular skills a child already has and working to improve them.

Through easily relatable examples and metaphors, the book describes the variety of sensory processing differences that can occur in children in a jargon-free way and offers practical advice to help manage these differences.
