Naturalistic Intervention

When a toddler is verbal, especially at the one- to three-word phrase level, the interventionist can build on what the toddler says, thereby demonstrating more linguistically sophisticated options, as in this script:

Toddler (with toy cars):  “Car.”
Interventionist (pushes car):  “Car. Go, car!”
Toddler:  “Go, car!”
Interventionist: “Go, car! Fast!”
