Manding with WH Questions
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Many of our students struggle with initiating language and conversation. Because of this, we usually place a strong emphasis on teaching requesting, or manding, in an ABA program. Here, we discuss how we can teach more advanced manding skills using WH questions. If our learners can mand a request for their wants and needs, it helps reduce challenging behaviors and motivates them to talk.
We discuss the prerequisite skills a learner needs before teaching manding with WH questions. We talk about some of the common mistakes we might make and how to troubleshoot. We also discuss where to start when introducing WH questions, how to keep learners motivated through fun, and practical examples of teaching WH questions.
What’s Inside:
- How to teach manding with WH questions
- Prerequisite skills needed before introducing WH questions
- How to keep learners motivated through fun
