Imitating what others do is a fundamental way children learn. For many autistic children, this mode of learning does not come easily. Thus, learning to imitate may take considerable time, practice and precise behavioral shaping. This mini-manual includes many standard exercises. Also included are more complex imitation exercises which involve time delay, observational learning and extended sequences of imitative responding and serve to generalize imitation abilities.
