Abstract
The purpose of this study was to teach preschool children with autism spectrum disorders to make requests with a speech generating device using a naturalistic time delay prompting procedure. The participants in this study were two males, enrolled in a public preschool program, between four and five years old.

Results showed utilizing naturalistic time delay increases independent requests using a speech generating device.
