For each child, trained therapists conducted daily sessions in a varying order of: (a) 3-choice identity matching-to-sample using 3-dimensional objects, then matching of objects to pictures of objects, then matching of pictures to pictures; (b) a picture exchange communication procedure (PECS); and (c) vocal imitation. All 5 children learned to match objects to objects, then objects to pictures, and then pictures to pictures. Shortly after meeting criterion on matching objects to pictures or pictures to pictures, 4 children learned to respond correctly on PECS.
