Task Analysis:
1. Work with the student to imitate his or her first name using the imitative abilities he or she possesses (see prerequisite S&L 6).
2. Add to Step 1 the word "name" (in a questioning manner) to the actual name. Reinforce only the actual name as a response
3. Continuing the concept of Step 2, put the words "your name" in front of the actual name. Again reward only the actual name as a response.
4. Place the complete question "What is your name," in front of the name. Reward the actual name response.
5. Continue Step 4, articulating only the first sound of the actual name.
6. Ask only the question, "What is your name?" If the response is the word “name” or no response, do not react, but after 5 seconds just state the name and reward that imitative response. Continue this activity until only the question is needed to receive the response of the student's name
