Mands for Information
This instructional video focuses on teaching mands for information to children with autism, a critical skill that enables them to ask questions and seek knowledge about their surroundings. Mands for information are a specific type of verbal behavior that involves requesting information rather than tangible items or actions. Teaching this skill fosters greater independence and curiosity, allowing children to engage more fully with their environment and the people in it.
Through real-life examples, this video provides a comprehensive guide for parents, educators, and therapists aiming to enhance the communicative abilities of children with autism. By empowering these children to ask "who," "what," "where," "when," and "why" questions, they become more active participants in their own learning and social interactions.
