Answer:
A) Shaping; discrimination training
Explanation:
Shaping is a term in psychology that describes the process of reinforcing behaviours that are considered successively closer and closer to the target or desired behavior. It is sometimes reffered to as Successful Approximations.
On the other hand, Discrimination training is another term in psychology, that make use of reinforcement of a behavior in the presence of one stimulus but not others
Hence, in this case, Behavioral techniques are often used to address communication problems that occur with autism. SHAPING involves rewarding the child for progressive approximations of speech, and DISCRIMINATION TRAINING involves rewarding the child for making sounds that the teacher requests.
