Cues are a type of receptive communication.
Designing and using a consistent routine is the beginning of teaching cues. Given more experience with the routine, the child may begin to anticipate the routine from some part of the routine. Touch cues are ways an adult can touch a child to communicate a desired action. For example, an adult may gently pull a child's arm upward with a grasp at the wrist to cue the child to lift arm during a dressing routine. Object cues are some concrete piece of a routine that is used to represent that routine.
