Purpose: This study investigated the effects of embedded tact discrete trial teaching into play on independent tact. Method: Two young children aged 5~6 years old with language delays participated in the study. The embedded tact instruction into play was implemented, and the effects of the intervention were evaluated using a multiple baseline across behaviors design. Results: The results indicated that the children acquired tacts quickly as the instruction was provided, and the effects were maintained after removing the intervention. In addition, the children’s tacts were generalized in the noninstructional setting. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the embedded tact instruction during play was effective for young children with language delays.
