In response to adults\u2019 verbal recasts in the form of questions, some children treated the action as a request for clarification rather than a correction, providing a nonverbal affirmation or rejection. Declarative recasts that used prosody to emphasize differences were treated by children as corrective, as evidenced by children redoing or repairing prior utterances. Interrogative multi-move recasts (e.g., Camp rock is movie or is a movie?) were observed to further constrain the child\u2019s response, increasing the likelihood of an immediate repair. Although recasts are typically defined as immediately following a child utterance, this study documented evidence that co-construction in AAC-mediated conversations may result in recasts being offset from the child\u2019s turn, being postponed until after the adult either provides receipt of the child\u2019s contribution or a clarification request of the child\u2019s intended meaning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clarke, M.
