Please note that the child model featured here does not have a diagnosis of autism and is being used to demonstrate discrete trial teaching (part of a comprehensive ABA program) at various levels.
Nonverbal Imitation:
This is a program that is introduced in the early stages
of therapy if a child does not have imitation skills.
This is a prerequisite skills and a necessary foundation
for most all other learning.
Imitations skills are a crucial aspect of learning as most
children learn through observation and imitation.
Your ABA team will teach imitation systematically until it becomes a part of your child's everyday repertoire.
Block Imitation:
This program teaches children to use play materials in
an appropriate way, addresses visual motor patterning,
increases fine motor skills, increases attention and
memory, and teaches the child to attend to details
and the actions of others.
