Remember, after you structure your environment, there are several steps to the RIT cycle: 1) Imitate your child & describe play, (2) Model and label a new action, (3) Physically guide your child to complete the action (if needed), and (4) Praise your child for imitating. This same procedure can be applied for teaching actions with objects, gestures, or activities during daily routines. See [RIT DIAGRAM OF STEPS HANDOUT].
