Master the art of teaching independence through intentional prompting and fading. This lesson explores the full prompting hierarchy—from stimulus and response prompts to errorless learning—and the role of Response Interruption and Redirection (RIRD) in ethical, affirming practice. Participants will learn to design fade plans, prevent prompt dependence, and integrate consent and assent into all prompting decisions.
