I would like to know how can I make objectives goals from the main goal on recommended IEP at the end of the assessment?
Great question! I always remember the acronym SMART when thinking about objectives: ensure that the learning objectives are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
How do you explain the purpose of the VB-MAPP to parents and caregivers in a way that is clear and concise?
It is important to explain it using clear language. Something that might work could look like:
"The VB-MAPP is like a guide that helps us understand where your child is with their communication and social skills. It's a bit like a roadmap that shows us what they can do already, like making requests or understanding words, and highlights areas where they might need a bit more support. By using this tool, we can tailor our teaching to suit your child's unique needs, making sure they get the right kind of help to continue growing and developing. It's all about finding the best ways to support your child's journey and celebrate their progress."
As a BCBA, it's important to use simple, clear language when explaining the VB-MAPP to parents and caregivers. The simpler the explanation, the easier it is for them to grasp the concepts, which helps them support their child's development more effectively.
