VBC is a comprehensive curriculum for teaching learners who present with missing or weak social, language, and/or cognitive competencies who are at risk for delayed or arrested development. It is the result of over 30 years of research and applied work with children who present with autism and related disorders.
The David Gregory School in Paramus, NJ, and CIEL, in Barcelona, Spain, provide laboratory settings in which the VBC is being continuously validated and improved.

A scope and sequence chart lays out the range of the material covered within a course of study in the order in which it will be presented and taught. The detailed scope and sequence chart and accompanying lessons allow teachers to examine the design of the curriculum and determine what is and what is not included in what is being taught. The VBC scope-and-sequence allows parents and service providers to know exactly what skills and capacities will be taught.

The BEBS is a curriculum-based assessment used to measure baseline and evaluate a learner’s verbal behavior development and performance gains over time. Aligned with the Verbal Behavior Curriculum (VBC) ©, the BEBS allows an evaluator to identify where a learner should be placed in the VBC to begin programming. It also provides a tool to assess the emergence of “generative”/untaught skills and competencies when used to determine progress on a periodic schedule.
The BEBS is partitioned into the same eight repertoires as the VBC -- Participating, Observational Learning, Listener Repertoire, Echoics, Mands, Tacts, Intraverbals, and Textual/Reading Skills. Each repertoire and their provided lessons are labeled with an assigned number, the parallel VBC © protocol number, the specific skill, and the specification of data collection. The BEBS also evaluates the emergence of specific equivalence relations such as symmetry (e.g., T: “A dog says ‘woof.’” What does a dog say?” L: “Woof.”).
Each skill should be assessed across 5 separate trials (unless otherwise noted). If the learner gets 4 out of 5, the skill should be recorded as a “YES.” If the learner gets 3 or less, the skill should be recorded as a “NO.” If the skill specifies 10 trials, the learner must get 8 out of 10 trials to be considered “YES.” Skills with a * should be tested in a group if available.
