Examples of Verbal Feedback in Therapy

Examples of excellent (positive) verbal feedback: "That's right," "You're right," "Yep, that's right," "Great. That's a great answer," "Exactly," with specific information provided such as, "Good job; I like how you corrected yourself. That's what we want you to do."

Examples of good verbal feedback: "You're close; that's close," with an explanation of incorrect or missing information. "There you go," "You're doing great," and "Good job."

Examples of poor verbal feedback: "Hmm-mmm," "Okay," or silence.
