First, you need to decide what verbs you will choose to work with. Children who have added manding to their repertoire should be familiar with 'want,' 'get,' 'can,' 'need,' and 'have.' Hopefully parents, teachers and therapists have helped them build communication skills by demanding that the children use complete phrases with a verb. I, for one, don't see anything wrong with asking for a 'please' as well, though I know conformity or politeness are not the purposes of manding (it's communication!) but it can't hurt, while your teaching language, to help them be more socially appropriate by teaching them how to be polite. • When presented with three pictures of actions (jump, run, hop, etc.) Johnny will receptively identify the actions by pointing to the word when asked across a field of three as implemented by the teacher and teaching staff with 80 percent accuracy across four consecutive probes.
