3. ABA Curriculum • Within our ABA Classroom we use the ABLLS-R Assessment. • The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills-Revised (ABLLS-R) is an assessment, curriculum guide, and skills tracking system for children with language delays. The ABLLS-R contains a task analysis of many skills necessary to communicate successfully and to learn from everyday experiences. (Partington, James PH.D,BCBA , ABLLS-R Protocol). • Students have individualized “tracking sheets” that are used during their ITT (Individualized teaching trials) sessions. In order for a student to master a skill they must receive a correct response, without any prompting, on the first try for 5 days in a row, across multiple instructors.
