Understanding and answering concrete Yes/No questions ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6fAN7v1Y518.html
When is it typical for a child to understand and answer WH questions?
Between 24-36 Months of Age. (after Echolalia decreases and spontaneous sentences are forming - combining 2-4 words )
MY TOP 7 TIPS for teaching WH Questions:
#1. Make it FUN
#2. Keep it interesting
#3. Use varying pitch and tone (vocal intonation) when asking your child a WH question
#4. Begin with concrete concepts such as WHAT, WHO and WHERE questions
#5. Ensure your child is able to understand and answer YES/NO questions first, including object functions
#6. Model the correct answer / response following a pause
#7. REPEAT all of theses strategies with the techniques listed below
//HOW TO TEACH WH QUESTION RESPONSES:
Begin with WHAT using object functions during PLAY*Join them for the highest level of motivation possible* Provide choices / options and modeling the responses (i.e. What do you DRIVE?! A VAN! What do you SHAKE? What do you DRINK? What can you EAT with?)
Use simple wording and emphasis on the ACTION / FUNCTION of the OBJECT
Bring you child with you to participate in daily routines throughout the and around the house . Let them take turns doing what you are doing and model, the word s of the object as well as the function. THEN ask a WHAT question and provide two options to follow up the new skills being targeted.
NEXT... Target WHO questions next using people that are important to your child FIRST... THEN branch off into astronauts, farmers, vet and chefs! You can play Knock Knock, who's there! Hide and Seek! Searching for people and objects in a book, given a photo, on a door, and around the house!
Finally, Target WHERE questions utilizing places in your own home to begin. WHERE should we eat lunch? Provide a choice and model two options. You can use a visual of these places in your home or run from room to room while saying the name of the place (where!) Where should we go first/The park or the ice cream store? Do you want to play outside or inside? Use visuals when at all possible and you can even make a WHERE book!
Step 2 of WHERE utilizes prepositions! Children begin learning and using simple prepositions around 24 - 30 months of age! These simple prepositions will take place of "right there" when you ask a child where the ball is, instead of saying "right there!" they might say "UNDER the couch! Or, Inside the toy bin! Or Behind the chair!"

*After "WHAT, WHERE, and WHO" questions have been taught related to the child then begin targeting these same concepts related to their environment.

I often teach answers to WHY questions AFTER a child has demonstrated the ability to understand cause/effect. To teach the answer to a WHY question, ask a question, provide a visual and then provide a verbal prompt such as "because" or "so" __ (Ex: "Why do we take medicine?" "SO you will ___ (feel better)
In order to teach HOW questions and responses, a child must first understand and demonstrate the ability to explain simple sequences such as "how do you get a drink?" (i.e. get a cup, open the juice, pour it in) Which requires actions, sequences, and temporal steps such as First, Next, Then, Last. I like teaching HOW question while acting things out or when talking about daily routines such as "getting ready for school" You can model these steps with your child to practice.
