  1. Imitation Repertoires

  2. The Importance of Imitation in Typical Development • Important skill needed in learning • Learning play skills (Meltzoff & Gopnick, 1993) • Imaginative • With toys • Learning novel motor skills • Learning social skills (Uzgiris, 1981; 1990) • Facilitates error corrections on more advanced skills • Learning communication skills (Nadel, Guerini, Peze, & Rivet, 1999; Kugiumutzakis, 1993)

  3. Imitation Deficits in Autism • Children with autism have syndrome-specific imitation deficits (see Smith & Bryson, 1994 for review; Meltzoff & Gopnik, 1993; Rogers & Pennington, 1991; Smith & Bryson, 1994) • Imitation skills highly correlated with: • vocal verbal communication (Dawson & Adams, 1984; Stone, Littleford, & Ousley, 1997) • non-vocal verbal communication (Curcio, 1978) • Social skill development (Dawson & Adams, 1994) • Play skills development (Stone, et al., 1997)

  4. Gross Motor Imitation Scope & Sequence • One or two imitations • Short timing interval • FR1 • FR2 • VR3 • One new imitation added at a time • Lengthen the timing interval • As skills progress, add in more than one at time • DRH • Once able to imitate novel movements at frequency aim, outcomes checks!

  5. Imitation Repertoires • Gross motor (mimetic) • Oral motor (mimetic) • Fine motor (mimetic) • Imitation with objects (mimetic) • Sound, word, sentence imitation (echoic)

  6. Gross motor imitation • Purpose: • Greater body awareness • Error correction implementation • Participation skills building • Increase component skills for learning • What skills are improved: • Example responses • Clap • Stand up/Sit down • Hands up • Hit table • Touch head

  7. Gross motor imitation • General scope and sequence of instruction: • Single movements, easily prompted, large muscles • Tap table • Single movements, smaller muscles • Wave • Multiple movements, smaller muscles

  8. See/Do Gross Motor Imitation • Uses gross motor muscle movements • Suggested frequency aim: 30-50 per minute • Component skills • Muscle control • video example

  9. See/Do Fine Motor Imitation • Uses fine motor muscle movements • Suggested frequency aim: 30-50 per minute • Component skills • Muscle control • video example

  10. Fine Motor • Purpose: • Build fine motor muscle strength and endurance • Move muscles independently • Teach new fine motor skills • Buttoning coat • Tying shoes • Holding a pencil • American Sign Language • What skills are improved: • Example imitations • Pinch • Open & close hands • Point

  11. Fine motor • General scope and sequence of instruction: • Both hands, multiple fingers, motions from the metacarpophalangeal joints • Both hands, individual fingers, motions from the metacarpophalangeal joints • Single hand, individual fingers, motions from the metacarpophalangeal joints • Single hand, individual fingers, motions from the proximal interphalangeal joints

  12. See/Do Oral Motor Imitation • Uses mouth/lips/tongue/jaw muscle movements • Suggested frequency aim: 30-50 per minute • Component skills • Imitation • Muscle control • video example

  13. Oral motor • Purpose: developing spoken language components • Building facial muscle strength and endurance • Moving articulators independently • Tongue, lips, jaw, velum (soft palate), larynx • Teaching new oral movements • Incorporating new sounds • What skills are improved: • Example imitations • Open mouth • Tongue out (open & closed Mouth) • Smile • Pucker

  14. Oral motor • General scope and sequence of instruction: • Begins after gross motor imitation firmly established • Begin with large head and face movements • Nod head, shake head, smile • Moves to more “gross” face motions • Smile, open and close eyes, purse lips • Move to finer or more difficult to prompt movements • Tongue in and out, tongue up and down, open/close jaw with lips open and closed

  15. Imitation with objects • Purpose: • Expand play skills • Expand functional skills • What skills are improved: • Imaginative play • Acquiring new skills through observation rather than through specialized instruction • Hair brushing • Teeth brushing • Bathing

  16. Other necessary imitation programs • See/Do Standing Motor • See/Do Multiple Step imitation • See/Do Imitation with blocks

  17. Hear/Say Sounds • Single phonemes articulated accurately • Suggested frequency aim: 40-60 per minute • Component skills • Auditory discrimination • Muscle control:oral motor skills • Imitation • video example

  18. Early Language Fluency  – Hear/Say Phonemes Review Slice 1

  19. Hear/Say CV Combinations • Consonant-Vowel articulation combinations • Suggested frequency aim: 40-60 per minute • Component skills • Auditory discrimination • Muscle control: oral motor skills • Imitation • Single phonemes

  20. Early Language Fluency  – Prevocalic /K/

  21. Hear/Say VC Combinations • Vowel-Consonant articulation combinations • Suggested frequency aim: 40-60 per minute • Component skills • Auditory discrimination • Muscle control: oral motor skills • Imitation • Single phonemes

  22. Early Language Fluency  – Postvocalic /K/

  23. Hear/Say Syllables • Suggested frequency aim: 90-120 syllables per minute • Component skills • One to one correspondence • Auditory discrimination • Muscle control: oral motor skills • Imitation • Single phonemes • video example

  24. Early Language Fluency – Changing Vowel Sounds Slice 1

  25. Early Language Fluency – Changing Consonant Sounds Slice 1

  26. Hear/Say Words • Suggested frequency aim: 40-60 per minute • Component skills • Auditory discrimination • Muscle control: oral motor skills • Imitation • CV/VC speech patterns

  27. Hear/Say Sentences • Suggested frequency aim: 40-60 per minute • Component skills • Auditory discrimination • Muscle control: oral motor skills • Imitation • CV/VC speech patterns • One to one correspondence with syllables • Video example

  28. Hear/Say Random Words • Suggested frequency aim: 40-60 per minute • Component skills • Auditory discrimination • Muscle control: oral motor skills • Imitation of words (one)
