Our new interactive video learning series is specifically designed to equip Special Needs Assistants, Educators, Teachers, and Parents with the essential knowledge and practical skills for mastering prompt levels and fading strategies, a cornerstone of effective individualised support.
What You’ll Discover in This Engaging Resource:
- Understanding the “Why” of Prompting: Explore how a systematic approach to prompts, informed by developmental theories like Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development, is crucial for fostering independence, not just skill acquisition.
- Mastering the Prompt Hierarchy: Learn the different levels of prompts (physical, gestural, verbal, visual) and how to strategically move between them to guide children toward autonomy.
- The Art of Fading: Grasp the critical importance of gradually reducing prompts to build confidence, promote skill generalization, and ensure children don’t become overly reliant on support.
- Practical Application: Discover how to integrate effective prompting into daily instruction, whether it’s for following directions, developing motor skills, or managing behavior.
- Avoiding Common Pitfalls: Identify the risks of over- or under-prompting and learn key considerations for striking the right balance to foster genuine independence and learner autonomy.
- Real-World Scenarios: Benefit from in-depth case studies and reflection activities that bring prompting concepts to life, allowing you to practice problem-solving and interpret student responses in practical scenarios.
This isn’t just another lecture! Our interactive videos, complete with hands-on learning exercises, empower you to implement these powerful prompting strategies immediately, transforming your approach to supporting children towards greater self-reliance and success within any educational plan (like IEPs or IPPs).
