    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Behavioral Science
    • Special Education

    Background:

    • Understanding effective prompting strategies is crucial for supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities.
    • Self-initiated responding is a key indicator of learning and independence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the effectiveness of three different prompt sequences on self-initiated responses.
    • To identify optimal prompting strategies for individuals with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Subjects with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities participated in the study.
    • Three distinct prompt sequences were implemented and compared.
    • The rate of self-initiated target behaviors was measured for each prompt sequence.

    Main Results:

    • A significant difference in target behavior was observed based on the prompt sequence used.
    • The prompt sequence combining verbal prompts and physical assistance resulted in the highest rate of self-initiated responses.
    • Gradually fading physical assistance alongside verbal prompts was more effective than physical assistance alone or verbal prompts alone.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt sequence significantly impacts self-initiated responding in individuals with intellectual disabilities.
    • A combined verbal and physical prompt strategy, with fading physical assistance, is highly effective.
    • Verbal prompts alone are less effective in promoting self-initiated behaviors.
