What basic data should be collected when using graduated guidance prompting?
Data should be collected on steps in the chain completed with prompts, without prompts, and those steps where the child showed resistance.
What are the benefits to on-going monitoring of the graduated guidance prompting procedure?
Monitoring the use of graduated guidance prompting helps the EI team (EI professional or parent) make decisions concerning when to fade the intensity and location of the prompt and when to fade prompts entirely as the data will indicate when the step or skill has been mastered. Careful monitoring can prevent prompt dependence.
