| Techniques from recent research |
Use error correction procedures
|
- Model example and non-examples of pleasant comments and ask the learner to determine whether they qualify as a pleasant comment (i.e., Hood et al., 2020)
- Construct a list of phrases with the learner that she can use and type them out on a sheet a paper she may reference during practice (see Hood et al., 2020, also Yamamoto & Isawa, 2020)
- Consider using a reinforcer that may be faded later (i.e., Grob et al., 2019)
|
| Adaptations |
Use script frames or script fading with last word of prompt not provided. Also increase the magnitude of the reinforcer for novice, spontaneous responses.
|
- Teach a frame into which the learner can insert unique words or phrases (e.g., “Today I am looking forward to _____.”; adapted from Hood et al., 2020)
