fill ins

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I did not get any responses so I reposted.

1. Do we need to do fill ins even if the child can answer the corresponding

question form of intraverbal?

2. I try to come up with fill ins for the 'Wh' questions and sometimes I end

up with strange sentences - Ex: What are some animals with whiskers? becomes

'Animals with whiskers are ____.

My team feels this is not typical child (or adult )language and is not necessary

especially when the child can master the corresponding 'Wh' question easily.

Any input regarding this is appreciated.

Thank you,

I know that on the ABBLS fill-ins are a separate step on the grid. They come

before the WH questions. I would think if the WH questions are mastered you

would not need to teach each as a fill-in. However, if the skill is generalized

I would think the fill-in format should be easily answered. I would not probe

every one, but, pick a few and see where you are.

For instance if the following is mastered: Where do you go pee-pee? Potty

Probe: You go pee-pee in the _________.

Any other opinions?

Mahija,

I agree, if a fill-in sounds weird, then don't use it. If any Sd sounds

weird, it is weird.

I would mix it up even more than what you listed.

-some animals with whiskers are...

-name some animals with whiskers.

-what are some animals with whiskers?

-what are some animals that have whiskers?

-tell me some animals that have whiskers.

We don't keep track of which particular format might have been used on a

particular target on a particular trial--we just randomly mix them up. In

our son's case, once a particular carrier phrase has been learned with

several targets, he can respond correctly to that carrier phrase with novel

targets.
