About the ELSS

What is it?

The Early Learner Skills Supplement is a supplemental skills curriculum consisting of 71 skills for early behavior intervention in autism spectrum disorders. It is designed specifically for cases that have low scores during the initial assessment; often referred to as Level 1 in many curriculums. The goals are presented systematically to be easy for the BCBA to develop skill-level appropriate programming. Targets in the ELSS are organized by both category and difficulty level to simplify the programming process.

ELSS

The ELSS is a supplemental curriculum for early learners including targets incorporating differential observing responses, precision teaching, joint attention, object-based responding, error correction research, play breadth and depth, age-norm development, and learner cooperation skills.

About the Author

David Condon is the clinical director of ABA services at Success on the Spectrum – Coppell. He received his MS in Behavior Analysis from the University of North Texas in 2019, and has been working as a BCBA ever since. He has previous experience in both telehealth and in-home services. And he started at his current clinic in 2023 a little over six months after they first opened. David tends to emphasize an experimental approach beginning from the experimental analysis of behavior and then treating applied behavior analysis as a test of experimental research under real world conditions. A particular emphasis is placed on the role of attending when conditioning novel relations which can be seen throughout the book.
