VB-MAPP: Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (2nd Edition, 6th printing), Guide and Protocol Perfect Paperback – by Mark L. Sundberg (Author)

I bought this textbook for my graduate certification in Positive Behavior Support and it came exactly as described. The text was informative, and the protocol is set up in an easy-to-understand way. This is something I believe I will be using when I start doing assessments on clients with behavioral issues. It allows you to gather information and set it up in a way that is relatively easy for even someone without behavioral health training to grasp.

Designed for children with autism, but it can be used for children with developmental delay; researched based, valid and reliable; informs directly and wisely the behavioral program .

I consult for families of young children with various developmental delays and disabilities, and I have found that using the VB-MAPP has helped me to create the most effective and relevant program in terms of teaching these children skills that will replace challenging behaviors, which are often the result of these skill deficits. EXCELLENT assessment!

I bought the protocol, guide book and I got the online course. I'd say you really just need the guide book and the protocol. The course was double the price of these and I found it more useful to have everything in writing, it's self-explanatory as long as you have a background in ABA.

I purchased this test for my special education department. Great resource; however, staff needed training with it. It requires some initial training. Once we completed that our testing and IEP process has been even more effective.

We really have come to embrace the VB-MAPP. The Ages associated with the Levels helps teachers and parents grasp where their children are developmentally. The Barriers section is also very useful in terms of helping educators focus on the most urgent needs and helping parents understand what stands in the way of rapid growth. Really well thought out!

I love this product! The guide outlines IEP goals based on the results in the student protocol. I use it with all of my students. It is not nearly as time consuming as the ABLLS-R. It is easy to navigate, understand and explain student progress.

I had to have this for class, but after using it in class with students, it really is a helpful place to start in figuring out IEP goals alongside the state standards.
