Summary:A child's baseline speaking skills are determined prior to training through analysis of 100 spontaneous utterances. Analysis of this language sample considers linguistic constructions) features within these constructions, number of words/utterance and number of morphemes/ utterance. The resulting information enables clinicians to program language learning tasks for a specific child in accordance with developmental language sequences. Language programs developed by clinicians follow conventional programming and reinforcement principles and are appropriate for individual or small group training. The training procedure follows these steps: (1) language sampling; (2) analyzing the sample; and (3) training.
