Graduated Guidance Prompting Procedure
With graduated guidance, practitioners provide a controlling prompt, a prompt that ensures the toddler will use the skill correctly, and then gradually remove the prompt during a learning activity or routine. This procedure differs from other prompting procedures because it requires practitioners to make judgments during the learning activity or routine about the type and amount of prompting to provide based upon the toddler’s response.
Graduated Guidance is one of two prompting procedures included in this module. A variety of prompting procedures support the learning and development of toddlers with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
Review information on both prompting procedures covered in this learning module and information on determining which prompting procedure is the most appropriate for an individual toddler and the type of target skills or behaviors you wish to teach.
