Which of the following scenarios best represents the Milieu technique when using the Hybrid approach?
A therapist is working on regular plurals. The therapist uses pictures and labels 10 of them. Then, the therapist has the child choose 10 pictures. The therapist tells the child to talk like he/she did, remembering to put the /s/ on the end of the word like he/she did because there is more than one of each object in the picture.
A therapist is working with a child on naming nouns. The therapist uses objects and encourages the child to label the items. After two correct answers, the child gets to pop bubbles.
A therapist brings an interactive toy to a therapy session. She begins to play with the toy. When the child wants to play with the toy, the therapist models "please" to encourage the child to request the toy. The therapist continues to model words such as "go, more, and stop" while the child plays with the toy. The therapist encourages the child to imitate the modeled words.
A therapist has a jar of bubbles, a highly motivating activity for the child. The therapist waits, allowing the child a chance to say "open." After opening the jar, the therapist brings the wand to her lips and says, "blow." Again, the therapist waits to give the child a chance to say "blow."
A therapist is working with a child on naming nouns. The therapist uses objects and encourages the child to label the items. After two correct answers, the child gets to take a turn on the game. This technique is referred to as (a) (b) .
