Prompting Independence Course

Course Overview: Guiding Learners Toward Independence

By the end of this course, you will master the strategic use of prompting to cultivate learner autonomy while maintaining a positive, inclusive environment. You will explore the prompt hierarchy, understanding the full spectrum from most to least intrusive supports, and learn how to apply these levels respectfully to meet each learner’s unique needs and goals.

Through hands-on problem-solving, you will build the skills needed to interpret learner responses and make informed decisions on prompt fading. You will identify key indicators that signal when a learner is ready for reduced support, and leverage targeted data collection tools to monitor progress, adjust strategies, and accurately measure skill acquisition over time.

Ultimately, this course empowers you to design individualized prompting and fading plans that do not just teach specific tasks, but actively foster self-advocacy and autonomy, equipping learners to recognize their own support needs and thrive independently.
