Verbal behavior therapy
Verbal Behavior Therapy (VBT) is an approach used to enhance communication skills, often with individuals with autism or language delays. It focuses on teaching language through practical experiences and understanding the function of words. Instead of just labeling objects, VBT encourages individuals to use language to express needs, ask questions, and engage in conversations. By reinforcing meaningful language use, the therapy aims to improve verbal skills and social interactions in a natural and engaging way, ultimately helping individuals communicate more effectively in their daily lives.
