COLLAPSE

I believe manding should be one of the most intensive interventions in a child’s plan. I really enjoy naturalistic environment training, so contriving manding situations is something I find fun. Out of curiosity, what are some of the ways you all have implemented contrived manding situations in your own work settings? I have experience as an RBT in home and clinical settings, so I am interested to hear how others in roles other than RBT have contrived opportunities for verbal operants.

When I first got hired for my job, I had to complete orientation. One of the many procedures we learned was to Nurture Heart. Nurture Heart is a procedure recommended to use every day with a client to build a repertoire with them. Alongside Nurture Heart, verbal de-escalation is implanted with clients to avoid or reduce crisis. I wouldn’t compare to Skinner’s Verbal Behavior. Skinner’s book took them to understand and was eventually used in much scholarly work, but Nurture heart is a technique that can be used, but it appears to work but not on everyone.
