In every learning environment, educators, SLPs, and behavior analysts use a range of support strategies to help students confidently build new skills. Many approaches begin with more guidance, such as hints, visuals, or gestures and then make adjustments as learners show progress. This thoughtful approach reflects the principles of gradualism. This workshop introduces a clear, practical way for teams to think and talk about prompts to promote consistency across the day. Participants will explore how approaches like errorless teaching, can build confidence by supporting success, minimizing mistakes and reducing frustration. This session will also highlight how shaping and time delay procedures can encourage positive practice. Finally, we will examine how carefully adjusting reinforcement and making small, purposeful changes over time can make a big difference in student progress. The goal is to provide teams with simple, effective tools that are both evidence-based and learner-driven, that can be used when collaborating to support all learners, especially those who thrive with structured support.
Participants will:
- Describe three prompting and errorless teaching strategies
- Define how gradualism relates to prompting, shaping and time delay
- Identify two key elements of using gradualism to teach
