Abstract
Children with ASD often display deficits in imitative skills in comparison to neurotypical children and age-liked peers. Acquiring motor-imitation skills allow individuals to learn a variety of other skills through attending and observing others in their environment. In this study, a programmed prompting sequence with two prompters was used to teach motor imitation skills in a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The results exhibit the use of programmed prompting with two therapists increased the acquisition of motor imitation.
