Two Word Requests

Goal: The student will request using 2+ word varied phrases (verb+noun) 80-100% of the time.

Instructional Procedure: USE VISUALS TO TEACH (CORE BOARD) – THEN FADE VISUALS
• Contrive situations: Present the student with opportunities to request. Wait 5 seconds for a response. If the student mands praise and follow
through
• If student does not mand, point to the visual and provide a verbal model (e.g., “Blow bubbles”). The student should repeat the phrase, then do a
transfer trial – Say: “What?” and the student should repeat the mand another time.
• When the student says the phrase (prompted), end the activity very briefly. Then 2 seconds later, present the requesting opportunity again. If the
student mands within 5 seconds, praise and follow through. If not, then repeat the error correction procedure.

Frequency Per Hour of Prompted and Unprompted 2-Word Requests – Use 2 clickers/counters – Count all contrived mands:
O = Unprompted FCT (no text cues needed either) X = Prompted FCT (a transfer trial/error correction procedure counts as only one click)
Divide # of mands per length of session to get COUNT PER HOUR
