Key Points:

• Do extend interactions

• Do practice joint problem solving

• Do practice playful obstruction

• Don’t model words you choose before a session starts (instead, follow the child’s lead)

• Don’t hide/mask too many of the words (make sure there are plenty of words to choose from - in most cases)

• Don’t just model requesting - do work on comments and negation (and more pragmatic functions)
