184.How to Strategically Fade Prompts with Your Special Ed Students


Listen Later

Prompts are cues, whether verbal or visual, that aid our students in meeting expectations in various settings. Prompts are not to be feared; they're valuable tools we use to set our students up for success. We introduce prompts into the environment to help our learners achieve their goals and navigate their routines effectively.

In the classroom, prompts manifest in various forms. For instance, reminding a student to say "thank you" after receiving a pencil increases their success in demonstrating polite behavior. Whether it's guiding them in following a bathroom routine or aiding their transition after recess, prompts are woven into our daily educational experiences.

In this episode you will learn:

  • Examples of prompts used in the classroom.

  • How to strategically fade prompts.

  • How to balance using prompts for your students

Remember, our ultimate goal is to empower our students towards self-sufficiency. As long as we remember the end-game, we will do right by our students.
