An Overview of Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB- MAPP) The Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) was developed from Skinner’s Verbal Behavior (1957). It was developed by Dr. Mark Sundberg in 2008 and piloted by several individuals that interacted with those who expressed language deficits. There are 170 milestones within the VB-MAPP that are separated into three modules or developmental levels ( 0 – 18 months, 18 – 30 months, and 30 -48 months) (Sundberg, 2014). The VB-MAPP is designed as a curriculum and program-based assessment to identify current skills in learning and language repertoires, determine priority interventions, identify the optimal learning environment and teaching strategies. The domains covered within the VB- MAPP are as follows: mand, tact, echoic, intraverbal, listener, motor imitation, independent play, social and social play, visual perceptual and matching-to-sample, linguistic structure, group and classroom skills, and early academics (Sundberg, 2014). Within the second component of the VB-MAPP, common barriers to learning and language are identified and assessed. These barriers include instructional control, scrolling, defective verbal behaviors, repetitive and restricted behaviors, weak motivators, and poorly integrated verbal and nonverbal communication (Sundberg, 2014).
