What is Early Developmental Assessment (VB-MAPP)?

Evaluating language and social milestones using the VB-MAPP inventory, and its role in designing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs).

Understanding VB-MAPP Milestones

VB-MAPP is an evaluation tool based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), measuring developmental milestones in children with speech delays and autism.

It evaluates 170 milestones across 3 levels (0-48 months), checking requesting (mand), labeling (tact), imitation, play, and social interaction.

Designing IEPs Based on VB-MAPP Results

Once the evaluation is complete, the child's developmental gaps are identified. These results are used to write a customized Individualized Education Plan (IEP).

Skills the child lacks are divided into small targets and integrated into daily routines using play.
