An Evaluation of a Game-Based Treatment Package on Intraverbals in Young Children with Autism.

The purpose of the current study was to evaluate a game-based treatment package on the acquisition of intraverbals in young children with autism. The treatment package was composed of using a listener response training game (i.e., bingo), providing verbal praise that contained the label for the listener response, and modeling a pretend play action related to the answer. During posttreatment probes, participants vocally answered wh- questions without any supplementary stimuli present and maintained responses during follow-up probes.
