Abstract:

The Faison School is a publicly funded private school located in Richmond, Virginia and affiliated with Virginia Commonwealth University. The school provides educational services to students ranging in age from 2 to 22 years. The school employs CABAS components including the learn unit, TPRA, data decision protocol, and tactics to increase verbal behavior levels, academic literacy, and expanded communities of reinforcers. In the total school program, behavior analytic strategies are applied to all aspects of the school including student curriculum, teacher training, and assessments. The following presentations show data resulting from the implementation of tactics to: (1) develop curriculum to increase language; (2) to increase academic, social, and play skills;(3) to increase self-management and independence within the community; and (4) to develop and implement interventions to increase the habilitation of all students.
