Prompting

Prompting is used in ABA therapy to help the child complete specific tasks. This is very helpful, especially when they are learning a brand-new skill. Although it’s very helpful, we want fade prompts over time so that they can respond to natural cues and don’t become prompt dependent. Follow us along as we introduce different prompting hierarchies, various types of prompts, the ideal times to utilize them, and examples that put them into action.
