"Skills Development" by Mikko offers a structured approach to teaching the core competencies that form the foundation of learning and independence. Based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Verbal Behavior, this course guides you through the critical stages of skill acquisition. You will learn how to assess current abilities and implement effective teaching procedures for:
Requesting (Mand): Teaching the child to ask for what they want, reducing frustration and replacing problem behaviors with communication.
Visual Perception: Developing matching, sorting, and scanning skills that underlie academic learning and understanding of the environment.
Imitation: Building the fundamental ability to learn by observing and copying others (motor imitation).
Naming (Tact): Expanding vocabulary by teaching the child to label objects, actions, and features of the world.
Intraverbal Behavior: Developing conversational skills and the ability to answer questions, moving beyond simple labeling.
Play Skills: Transitioning from solitary or repetitive play to functional, symbolic, and interactive social play.
Daily Living Skills: Teaching essential self-care routines—such as dressing, eating, and hygiene—to foster autonomy and confidence.
