Describe how a therapist who is using discrete trial training to enhance verbal production might prompt a child to ask a question.

What will be an ideal response?


The therapist might present a new object to the child saying something like, “Look at this. You haven’t seen something like this before. Ask me, ‘What is that?’” When the child responds correctly, the therapist reinforces the behavior by saying, “Great job! You asked that question really well. This is a butterfly net. You can catch butterflies with it. Let’s see how it works.” (Any other appropriate example also acceptable.)
