Teacher Prompt Situati<strong>on</strong> Definiti<strong>on</strong><br />

Verbal Prompt ● Child fails to initiate a questi<strong>on</strong> Questi<strong>on</strong><br />

● Child asks for help ● “What does your checklist tell you to do?”<br />

● Child repeats a generic questi<strong>on</strong> ● “What is a good questi<strong>on</strong> word when<br />

● Child repeatedly asks a questi<strong>on</strong> asking a character questi<strong>on</strong>?”<br />

about <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> same element of a ● “What elements of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> story did you just<br />

story<br />

read about?”<br />

● Child does not resp<strong>on</strong>d to a peer<br />

questi<strong>on</strong><br />

by all three participants with ASD. Because<br />

participants did not ask any questi<strong>on</strong>s unrelated<br />

to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> story, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> graph c<strong>on</strong>sists of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

frequency of unprompted versus prompted<br />

questi<strong>on</strong> generati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong>ly. The change in frequency<br />

of unprompted questi<strong>on</strong> generati<strong>on</strong><br />

was immediate for Austin <strong>and</strong> Barry. Chris<br />

also showed an increase in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> number of<br />

unprompted questi<strong>on</strong>s asked, but with greater<br />

variability. The frequency of unprompted<br />

questi<strong>on</strong>s increased from 0–1 at baseline to a<br />

range of 1–6, 1–4, <strong>and</strong> 0–4 during interventi<strong>on</strong><br />

for Austin, Barry, <strong>and</strong> Chris respectively.<br />

Prompting decreased as children began generating<br />

questi<strong>on</strong>s independently.<br />

As dem<strong>on</strong>strated in Table 6, unprompted<br />

● “D<strong>on</strong>’t forget to follow your checklist.”<br />

● “Remember to make your questi<strong>on</strong> about<br />

something you just read.”<br />

● “Try to ask a questi<strong>on</strong> about .”<br />

when generating questi<strong>on</strong>s related to characters,<br />

but lower when generating questi<strong>on</strong>s pertaining<br />

to an event or problem (see Table 6).<br />

The c<strong>on</strong>tent of initial questi<strong>on</strong>s generated by<br />
