Teaching the Conditional Use of Communicative Requests to Two School-Age Children with Severe Developmental Disabilities.

Reichle, Joe; Johnston, Susan S.

Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v30 n4 p324-34 Oct 1999

Two boys, ages 7 and 9, with severe developmental disabilities were taught to use requests conditionally (when desired items were proximally distant) to obtain desired snack items. Results suggest that the conditioned discriminations were established quickly and both learners generalized their conditional discriminations to other contexts. (Author/DB)
