When joining toddlers in play, interventionists must be vigilant in watching for toddlers’ communicative cues. A child who wants a snack that is out of reach may glance toward it and vocalize. An attuned interventionist recognizes this as a communicative attempt and responds. Being aware of even the most subtle communicative attempts and responding to these attempts teaches the toddler that communication is powerful. Catching these subtle attempts reduces missed opportunities for engagement, a common error in learning to respond to a toddler’s initiations, especially for toddlers with less apparent or infrequent communication and social behaviors.
