Prompting for Toddlers

" "

Prompting (PP) procedures are verbal, gestural, and/or physical assistance given to learners to help them in acquiring or engaging in a targeted behavior or skill (e.g., Barton, 2015; Barton & Wolery, 2010; Carlson et al., 2009). Adults generally give prompts before or as a toddler attempts to use a skill.

The AFIRM for Toddlers modules are designed for early intervention providers working with caregivers (families and childcare providers) of toddlers.

What Will I Learn?

The AFIRM model guides the EI provider through four lessons to facilitate:

  • Reviewing basic knowledge about visual supports for toddlers.
  • Planning with and coaching caregivers to use and monitor progress of visual supports.

The Prompting for Toddlers module will take approximately 2 to 3 hours to complete.
