Tyler’s Behavior Byte:

Prompting Hierarchy is used to help students learn and use new skills in a systematic way. This approach helps to decrease frustrations and provide the students with opportunities to complete the skill on their own. There are two ways to implement the prompting hierarchy, Most-To-Least, and Least-To-Most.

Most-To-Least is used when the skill is new and more intervention is needed to teach the skill.

Least-To-Most is used after the skill has been learned and the student is working on mastery and generalization.

Verbal prompts although not as intrusive as Full Physical are much more difficult to fade and therefore can lead to prompt dependency when overused. Verbal prompts should really focus on responses that require a verbal response. For example, when asking a student “what is your name?” a verbal response is more effective and easier to fade than when a student is using the bathroom and is prompted verbally to “wash your hands”.
