Extra Learning Opportunities (ELOs) consist of brief learning trials that occur outside of the scheduled session, such as in transitions between activities. Examples of ELOs include prompting the child to make eye contact, identify colors, or point to body parts in the booth. During transitions, the child can be prompted to walk and say where they are going. In the playroom, the child can be asked to label toys, go down the slide, or throw and catch a ball. All ELOs should provide reinforcement whether the child responds correctly or not.

1. Extra Learning Opportunities
Extra Learning Opportunities (ELOs) consist of any unscheduled trial you perform with
your child. They can occur in the booth, during transitions (booth to bathroom, music to
snack, etc.), in the bathroom, at snack, or in the playroom. Here are some examples of
behaviors:
• In the booth:
o Quiet Hands (ex: “_____, quiet hands.” Response. “Good job!”)
o Look at me
o What color? (ex. when playing with cars in the booth)
o Where’s your tummy?
• During transitions (walking around the classroom):
o Let’s walk (ex: “_____, let’s walk.” Child walks a few steps. “Great job!”
You can pair this with a toy.)
o Say, “It’s time for _____” (snack, music, speech, gym, etc.)
• In the playroom:
o Say, ‘ball’ (ex: “_____, say ‘ball’.” Child says, ‘ball.’ “Way to go!”)
o Go down the slide
o Throw me the ball
o Put the toys in the bucket
• Anything extra you come up with while working with your child
Note:
• All ELOs are reinforced, whether the child is prompted or not to respond correctly
