Indicating Responses & Playchains

This 9-minute video combines clear explanation and video modeling of an instructor and parent with children to illustrate how strengthening of social indicating responses (combinations of gestures, eye gaze, and vocalization) via play chains (play routines based on learner preferences) can be used to build early communication skills and persistence—laying the groundwork for language development.

Designed for RBTs and Caregivers

INTERACT

This 7 minute training video introduces viewers to INTERACT, a powerful mnemonic designed to spark motivation for social communication through likes and dislikes—a foundational step in emotional connection and expressive language.

Designed for clinicians, educators, or parents to gain practical strategies to help children express their preferences and strengthen shared engagement.

Indicating Response Discrimination Training

This 6-minute video training is designed to strengthen your ability to recognize and respond to subtle communicative behaviors—essential cues that often precede more intentional language. You’ll learn how to spot and interpret:

✋ Subtle Gestures
👁️ Eye gaze
🎙️ Vocalizations

These “indicating responses” reflect a child’s interests, desires, and intent—and this training helps you tune in and respond meaningfully. Learn how to differentiate and respond to potentially communicative behaviors and social responses via guided commentary and practical strategies to support children-especially those with autism who may use subtle, uncommon signals. This tool builds your responsiveness and insight, creating stronger foundations for communication growth.

Designed for caregivers, and team members supporting children with autism or other communication challenges
