Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Bella, I would make sure to not distract with using different colors, etc. You'll want to make sure to present the stimuli to be discriminated in its purest form just to begin with. Just simple flashcards where your child matches 2 v. 12, 3 v. 13, etc. will work. There are various ways to teach this, but one of the most successful ways I've experienced is to begin by making it a sorting task and say the name of the number as your child matches. If your child has a strong echoic repertoire, begin requiring him/her to say the number as it's placed in the pile as you fade your verbal prompts. Remember to immediately prompt and keep it fun!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yes, receptively identify them first. Make small cards with 1, 11 and 21 written on it. Put all three cards in front of the child. Therapist: Touch 1 Child touches it Touch 11 Child touches it Touch 21.. and so on. Repeat the same trial until the child masters the receptive identification. Then link it to expressive . Touch 1. Child touches 1. Therapist: What number? Child: 'One " . Hope it helps.
