The presented study focuses on the assessment and treatment of OL component skills with two young learners diagnosed with ASD. In the context of teaching correct tacts of trained and untrained stimuli, we assessed the component skills of attending, imitation, differential responding to one's name, and consequence discrimination. Assessment results revealed that participants exhibited different deficits across component skills. Subsequently, we developed and provided individualized interventions to teach component skills. Following intervention, both participants demonstrated increased correct OL performance, highlighting the importance of assessment-based and tailored interventions.
