These are practices that are supported by research to improve outcomes for students with ASD.
What are Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs)?
This teaching method involves structured, repeated teaching trials with clear prompts and reinforcement.
What is Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT)?
This type of strategy occurs before a behavior to prevent it.
What is an antecedent strategy?
This EBP involves breaking skills into small steps and teaching them systematically with reinforcement.
What is task analysis?
A student is not motivated to participate in a task. This should be addressed first before teaching begins.
What is motivation (or MO)?
A student has the skill but only uses it in one setting. This should be targeted next.
What is generalization?
This strategy involves giving students choices during instruction to increase engagement.
What is choice-making?
This type of strategy occurs after a behavior to influence it.
What is a consequence strategy?
This EBP uses repeated, structured teaching trials with clear instructions, prompts, and reinforcement.
What is Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT)?
A student struggles with multi-step tasks. This EBP would help break the task into smaller steps.
What is task analysis?
This type of data collection helps identify patterns between antecedents, behaviors, and consequences.
What is ABC data?
This involves providing assistance to help a student complete a task.
What is prompting?
This intervention teaches a replacement behavior by teaching to request that serves the same function.
What is Functional Communication Training (FCT)?
This EBP teaches students to monitor and regulate their own behavior.
What is self-management?
A student engages in escape-maintained behavior during work. This strategy should be used to teach an appropriate alternative.
What is Functional Communication Training (FCT)?
The replacement behavior must match the same ____?
What is the function?
This involves gradually removing supports to increase independence.
What is fading?
This process identifies why a behavior is occurring.
What is a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)?
This EBP involves modifying the environment before behavior occurs to prevent problem behavior.
What are antecedent-based interventions?
A student is heavily reliant on prompts and not responding independently. This process should be implemented.
What is fading?
This assessment identifies the skills a student needs based on their everyday environments and routines.
What is an ecological inventory?
This teaching strategy focuses on building independence by teaching students to monitor their own behavior.
What is self-management?
This term refers to reinforcing appropriate behavior while reducing problem behavior.
What is differential reinforcement?
This EBP embeds teaching opportunities within natural routines and activities.
What is naturalistic intervention (or naturalistic teaching)?
A student is making frequent errors during learning. This teaching approach should be used to reduce mistakes.
What is errorless learning?
