The purpose of this study was to shape the spontaneous verbal behavior of an autistic child who could not imitate the verbal model of the trainer. The main factor of the difficulty was thought to be the deficit not to discriminate speech sounds, an element, contributing to the construction of spoken language. Though the method to force the subject to imitate the verbal model, conventional one, would be applicable to most cases, it was considered that negative effects including the suppression of behavior might be occurred in this case. Therefore, it was attempted to apply "Contingency-Model" technique because the technique was hypothesized to be useful to promote the verbal behavior to be emitted. The technique in this case, however, was defined that the trainer properly made verbal model contingent on the emitted vocalization of the child. The procedure was as follows: Step 1. Trainer's speech sounds contingent on the subject were tried to be the same as subject's ones. Step 2. Trainer's speech sounds were modified with correct speech sounds. The results showed that verbal behavior could be developed by the application of Contingency-Model technique.
