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, speech to
booth 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 _____” (Speech, bathroom, playroom 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
