Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 How about prompting the preferred form of request? Maybe you could start by accompanying fullfillment of the request with a simple model of the proper request ( " GIVE ME WATER! " As you give the water, " Please, could I have some water?). Then you could gradually introduce a pause between the model request and the fullfillment. Later on, when you have a measurable pause, you could prompt her to repeat your model, either before or after fullfillment. This doesn't sound like something you'll change in weeks, but maybe rather in months.
