Definition • “Responsive interaction intervention (RII) is a naturalistic intervention approach to promote caregivers responsiveness to their children’s behaviors with the ultimate aim of improving children’s emotional, language, and cognitive development” (Girolamento, Pearce, & Weitzman, 1996; Mahoney & Perales, 2005, as cited in Kong and Carta, 2011, p. 5)

Purpose • “Children will learn new language or learn to use their existing language in conversation when they hear appropriate models of language in the context of adult-child interactions” ( Yoder, Kaiser, Goldstein, Alpert, Mousetis, Kaczmarek, & Fischer, 1995, p. 219)
Strategies • Training any communication partner to increase communicative responsiveness to the child’s behaviors • Teaching the communication partner to follow the child’s lead • Teaching the communication partner to emotionally respond to the child’s behavior (Kong and Carta, 2011)
Typically used with… • Students identified with Developmental Delays, Intellectual Disabilities, Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and students with intensive communication needs. • Students up to the conventional pre-symbolic communication level (Wetherby & Prizant, 1989)
Sample Intervention • Parallel Talk – Commenting on what child is seeing, hearing, or doing in 3-6 words. • “You see a truck” • Description – Adding lots of adjectives to what the child sees, points out, or picks up. • “There is a big, red truck” • YOUR TURN TO PRACTICE!
