  1. Equivalence: Connecting Concepts in Networks Efficiently Daniel C. DeRosa Behavior Analysis

  2. DeRosa CS Presentation Autism Spectrum Disorders • 1 in 80 to 1 in 240 • I in 110 • Estimated 1 in 94 boys born in the United States (Based on CDC Report) • Difficulties in: Interacting socially Building meaningful relationships Learning language Learning to read

  3. DeRosa CS Presentation Equivalence Paradigm • Reading Comprehension (Sidman, 1971) • Establishing Categories (Griffee & Dougher, 2002) • Statistics (Fields et al., 2009) • Braille Literacy (Toussaint & Tiger, 2010)
