Tirapelle, Lori; Cipani, Ennio
Exceptional Children, v58 n3 p260-69 Dec-Jan 1991-92
This study evaluated the "missing-item" language intervention with two moderately to severely retarded students (ages five and six) in a special class setting. The missing-item format produced effects in requests for targeted snack items and, after generalization training, a requesting repertoire that was durable and generalized across multiple settings and stimulus conditions.
