6. Learner Objectives
1. Participant will delivery appropriate instructional cues to another
participant during role play activities for 80% of opportunities for
one group session.
2. Participant will verbally identify and model all prompt types during
role play activities on first opportunity for one group session.
3. Participant will demonstrate a time delay procedure during a role
play activity on first opportunity for one group session.
4. Participant will demonstrate differential reinforcement for a target
response versus a non target response on first opportunity for one
group session.
5. Participant will demonstrate an error correction technique for an
incorrect response on first opportunity for one group session.

7. Technique 1: Instructional Cues
 What types of instruction do you give to
kids when you need them to do a skill or
task?

8. Definition
 An instructional cue is considered an
antecedent that a teacher gives to evoke a
response from the student
 For students with disabilities, ensure that
the cue is specific, concrete and concise

9. Model & Role-play

10. Prompting
 When have you had to help a learner
engage in a correct behavior?
 What are ways in which someone has
helped you learn a new skill?

11. Technique 2: Prompt types
 Definition: some type of assistance given
to a student to help them engage in a
correct response

12. (a) verbal=verbal behavior of another person results in the correct
response
(b) gestural= any visual or gesture that leads to the correct
response
(c)modeling=demonstration of correct behavior by another person
(d) physical = physically helping student engage in correct
response
PROMPT TYPES:

13. Prompt examples
 Verbal prompt=instructor provides the
verbal prompt
 Gestural prompt= picture schedule

14. Prompt examples
 Model prompt= cooking instructor
 Physical prompt= hand over hand

16. Time-Delay
 What are some activities or skills that
someone had to teach you
 How do you go from helping someone to
allowing them to do it by themselves?
 How did you start doing something by
yourself?

17. Technique 3: Time Delay
 Definition= waiting a certain number of
seconds to see if the student will
independently initiate the correct response
 If the student does NOT, then you would
deliver a prompt

18. Technique 3: Time Delay
 When teaching a NEW skill use a 0-
second time delay and immediately
deliver the prompt to ensure a correct
response

19. Fading your prompts
 After a certain number of teaching
opportunities ( about 3 opportunities),
insert a 3 second wait and determine if the
child will begin to initiate independently

20. Model & Role-Play

21. Differential Reinforcement
 Did you ever get A’s and B’s and C’s in
school?
 Why do you think the teacher gives
different grades?
 How do you let students or others know
they are doing the correct skills or
behaviors?

22. Differential Reinforcement
 Would you reinforce a child with a cookie
for shaving his head without permission?

23. Technique 4: Differential
Reinforcement
 Definition= reinforcing a specific desirable
behavior while other behaviors are not
reinforced.
 The result is an increase in the desired
behavior and extinction of other behaviors.

24. Model & Role-Play

25. Error Correction
 How have your teachers or family members
or friends told you that you were not doing the
right skill?
 How would you tell your student that they are
not doing the right behavior?
 Why is it important to tell your student they
are not engaging in the target behavior?

26. Technique 5: Error Correction
 Definition= learner demonstrates an
incorrect response during instruction and
teacher provides precise corrective
feedback

27. Protocol
Teacher says, “No”
Wait 3-5 seconds
Represent your instruction + a
controlling prompt

28. Model & Role-Play
 Please view video example and practice
with your partner

29. Competency –Based Rubric
Technique Criterion Met Comments
Instructional Cue Demonstrate the use of highly specific
and concrete verbal instruction
Prompts Modeled all prompt types
Time Delay Deliver instruction cue and
demonstrate a 0 second and a 3
second time delay before prompting
Differential
Reinforcement
a) Used affect and verbal praise and
other reinforcer types to reinforce
target behavior
b) Used less reinforcement and
neutral affect for a previously
mastered approximation or did not
reinforce the response
Error Correction Delivered a neutral “No” and waited 3-5
seconds and represented an
instructional cue + prompt
