Intensive teaching objectives and targets

1 Intensive Teaching Objectives and Targets This is a list of objectives/targets that are often taught using Intensive Teaching (IT). However, it is NOT a complete curriculum. For most objectives (vocal imitation, receptive language, etc.), targets are listed in the order in which they generally should be taught. However, for some objectives, targets may be taught out of order (e.g., functional play) depending on the specific skill and child’s goals/needs. Targets should be generalized across people, settings, behaviors, and stimuli. Also, IT sessions and classroom activities can incorporate multiple objectives/targets. For example, peer play can work on imitation, fine motor, pretend play, and social language skills.
