6. Graduated Guidance-starts with as much prompting and assisting as needed to start and complete a task. As the group home resident learns the task, prompts and assistance are gradually withdrawn as resident completes task with fewer and fewer prompts.
7. Fading of Prompts-similar to graduated guidance, but uses environmental prompts, reinforced with group home staff prompts that are gradually reduced. An example would be using an alarm clock with staff prompting resident to get up when it goes off. Eventually resident should get up without staff prompt.
8. Chaining-this method breaks a task into steps that are inter linked. Staff prompts can be faded at the start (forward chaining), middle (global chaining), or end (backward chaining)of the the task. Chaining is adjusted to the resident’s areas of strengths in completing a task.
9. Task Analysis-task is broken town into small tasks that the resident can successfully preform. Number of tasks and size of tasks are adjusted to the group home resident’s skill levels.
10. Reinforcement-a reward is used to encourage increases in behavior occurrences and behavior duration. Rewards should be individualized. Rewards can be non-tangible like praise or tangible like tokens or an activity.
