Teaching WH-Questions Isn’t Enough: Building True Conditional Discrimination

About This Event
This presentation challenges the assumption that teaching WH-questions in isolation produces flexible verbal repertoires. Drawing on the work of Dr. Francesca degli Espinosa, participants will examine how autoclitic frames and the scaffolding of skills can be used to systematically establish robust discriminated responding across verbal forms and to prevent faulty stimulus control before it becomes entrenched.
