"Say the word WHAT to find out WHAT i brought." (modelling WHAT on communication board, symbol or device while you say WHAT).
Watch and wait.

How to prompt individuals to use or expand language.

A word of caution.
If you get a response but it's not what you expected (for example our boy says "Show me"); please don't make him say WHAT as well, he's said it in a different way. So, go with the flow as you've made language happen anyway!!
