Autism Q & A: Designing Instructional Programs for Skill Acquisition (VCU Autism Center for Education)

Description:

Autism Q & A: Designing Instructional Programs for Skill Acquisition - There are a number of things that teachers should consider when developing an instructional program to teach a new skill. First, they must decide what to teach by evaluating the student and setting an instructional objective. Second, teachers needs to identify the instructional or natural cues that signal the student to perform the skill. Third, behavior change procedures must be selected, which can include reinforcement procedures, prompting, and compensatory strategies. Finally, a data collection system must be created to indicate the student’s progress in learning the skill.
