A teaching model in the area of spontaneous communication, undertaken through practitioner research, with Nick, a nonverbal 5-year-old boy with autism and severe learning disabilities, is examined. Multipointing, which is the use of sequences of points, to convey a single complex message during the same communicative act, was taught in progressively less structured situations to facilitate the spontaneous use of a variety of semantic relations. High rates of spontaneous use of multipointing to indicate ’location’, ’agent’ and ’object’ were seen. Results were discussed in terms of symbolization and motor encoding difficulties.
