Bricker, Diane; And Others

It is explained that the components of verbal imitation, comprehension, and production are incorporated into the 14-phase sequential program. Usually given for each phase are the objective; the setting; directions for the baseline probe; training; data, and training probe procedures; and generalization training procedures. Discussed are the following training phases: the initial behavioral control stage; functional use of objects; verbal imitation of sounds; comprehension, verbal imitation, and single-word comprehension, and production of two-word phrases, and imitation, comprehension, and comprehension, and production ot two-word phrases, and imitation, comprehension, and production of three-word phrases. It is noted that a child moving successfully through the program will understand and produce some three-word actor-action-object constructions and that some children will be able to progress to other constructions such as articles and interrogative transformations. Included in appendixes are procedures for teaching verbal imitation (such as shaping sounds and words, and a lateralization program to increase the child's vocabulary and aid areas such as generalization of sounds.
