Enhancing the application and evaluation of a discrete trial intervention package for eliciting first words in preverbal preschoolers with ASD . This study evaluates the effectiveness of an intervention package including a discrete trial program ( Rapid Motor Imitation Antecedent Training ( Tsiouri and Greer , J Behav Educat 12:185-206 , 2003 ) combined with parent education for eliciting first words in children with ASD who had little or no spoken language . Evaluation of the approach includes specific intervention targets and functional spoken language outcomes ( Tager-Flusberg et al. , J Speech Lang Hear Res 52:643-652 , 2009 ) . Results suggest that RMIA , with parent training , catalyzes development of verbal imitation and production for some children . Three of five participants acquired word production within the DTT framework and achieved milestones of early functional spoken language use ( Tager-Flusberg et al. , J Speech Lang Hear Res 52:643-652 , 2009 ) . The implications of these findings for understanding the role of discrete trial approaches to language intervention are discussed .
