The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of motivational strategies incorporated into language interventions on the spontaneous question-asking and the acquisition of vocabularies of children with autism spectrum disorder. Two children with autism spectrum disorder were selected in order to employ a multiple baseline design across participants. As an intervention, motivational strategies including the child’s preferable items and natural reinforcers were conducted along with verbal modeling, time-delay and prompt fading procedures. The intervention sessions were conducted in the clinic and the generalization data were collected both in the clinic and in the participant’s home. The results of this study were as follows; First, motivational strategies incorporated into teaching question-asking to children with autism spectrum disorder resulted in acquisition and generalization of the spontaneous question-asking without additional teaching in other settings. Second, both children in this study acquired new vocabularies collaterally through their spontaneous question-asking without intervention. The results of the study were discussed.
