Abstract
This study investigated the effectiveness of teacher-implemented langu age intervention within play activities. specifically, naturalistic la nguage intervention procedures (i.e., mand-model, incidental teaching) were used to increase the use of spontaneous language targets in 4-el ementary students with moderate disabilities. While the students showe d an increase in the number of spontaneous targets they used during th e intervention condition, they demonstrated minimal maintenance and ge neralization following intervention. Implications for future research are discussed.
