Functional echolalia is attempted communication intended to be interactional, acting as communication with another person. Examples include:
Turn taking: The person with echolalia uses phrases to fill an alternating verbal exchange.
Verbal completion: Speech is used to complete familiar verbal routines that are initiated by others. For example, if people with echolalia are asked to complete a task, they might say “good job!” while completing it, echoing what they’re used to hearing.
