  "Teaching Conversation to Children with Autism" by Lynn E. McClannahan,
Ph.D. & Patricia J. Krantz, Ph.D.
 
 

"Miniature voice-recorders, strategically placed around the home, are helpful in cueing children to interact with family members. A Mini-Me mounted on the door jam enables a child to say "I'm home!" when returning from school. When a boy accompanies his mother to the basement to play nearby while she does the laundry, he activates a Mini-Me near the top of the stairs and says the script, "Going down".
In the kitchen, he opens a cupboard door, presses a button, and repeats the script "Can I have a cookie?" A Mini-Me on a bathroom shelf may play a script such as "wash hands", "brush teeth", or "take a bath."
And a Mini-Me on the nightstand may cue a youngster to say
"Give me a hug" or "I love you.""
