Re: Problem with repeating one word over and over, what to do?

[Guest guest]

Have you tried giving her the one word mand for each specific thing she

likes to eat.

If you are about to give her an apple..have her mand " Apple "

or if its juice.. " Juice "

This is commong for them to make things easier on themselves to use a

generalized MAND for an action or a object..

...

Try to get the specific one word mand for the specific item..

Subject: Problem with repeating one word over and over, what to do?

Hi list,

My 5 years old is non verbal . right now she says the

word " eat, eat, eat, eat " over and over again, because

she is saying this word we would like her to start to

use it with its proper meaning. so, wherever she says

" eat " over and over , I tell her to say " eat " and then

I give her some food right away. but , the problem is

that sometimes she says " eat, eat, eat , eat " even

when she is not hungry and does not want any food.

My question is: how can I get her to use this word

only when she really wants to eat??.

I realy appreciate any suggestions.
