An intraverbal is a type of verbal behavior in which a child responds to another person’s words without directly matching them or pointing to an item in view. Examples include answering questions, filling in familiar phrases, or responding during conversation. Intraverbal skills are important for more advanced language development and back-and-forth social interaction.
