Video of the Week: Core Vocabulary in Action

“I eat biscuits when I talk about things.”

“How about yesterday?”

“What do you like making?”

“Kay said, Put away toys.”

“What did you say?”

“After meeting we did go eat mini burger.”

“What did you eat for dinner?”

“I will eat one biscuit now.”

Isn’t it a treat to see kids really using core language? There is so much to love about this video of Kingsley, a youngster with autism, and his dad. From the child-directed interaction, to the contingent responding, to the language elicitation strategies (e.g., “You start”), to reminders about punctuation, to the sheer love of interaction, and more. This is one to savor.
