- ) enhanced milieu teaching
Incidental teaching
promotes the development of more elaborate language.
- ) The child initiates an interaction or request for an object or activity
- ) The teacher then requests an expansion
- ) If the child does not expand, the teacher models the expansion
- ) Correct responses are reinforced with access to the desired object/activity
Mand Model
Eliminates dependence on child initiations
- ) The teacher initiates the interaction
- ) The teacher provides a mand (request) for a child response
- ) If the child fails to respond, the teacher provides a model
- ) Correct responses are reinforced with social praise, attention, or access to a desired object or activity.
