Description
Expanding utterances in a simple way can be tricky and many students need an expanding utterance activity to provide a systematic and structured approach to increasing utterance length. This resource activity will expand the length and complexity of utterances for both verbal communicators and AAC users. Faded prompts help develop higher mean length of utterances (MLU) in students with less than 6 word MLU. This resource provides visuals, pacing strips, and faded prompts to target increasing utterance length by adding articles, adjectives (color and size), and prepositions. This activity is great for both verbal communicators and AAC users. Start with the length that works for your student. Targets for expanding utterances include: 3 Word Utterances 4 Word Utterances 5 Word Utterances 6 Word Utterances Prepositions to increase utterance length Adjectives to increase utterance length Articles to increase utterance length This resource uses faded prompts and support to increase independence of increased utterance length. This will be your new favorite tool for increasing MLU!
