  • Errorless Learning
  • Prevent/ Minimize learner errors when teaching discrimination

  • Response Prompts:
  • Most-to-least prompting (Physical Prompting, modeling, verbal prompting)Providing

a prompt that will evoke a response and gradually decrease to a less intrusive prompt

3

  • Stimulus Prompts
  • Altering the target (movement, positional prompting

4

  • Behavioral Contingencies: Token Economies & First/Then Boards
  • Providing reinforcement contingent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of

behavior in the classroom.
