Community-based instruction

Question 3

Which instructional approach uses a series of graduated prompts from least intrusive to most intrusive to help students complete a task independently?

Accepted Answer

Least-to-most prompting

Answer

Least-to-most prompting starts with the least intrusive prompt and progresses to more direct prompts only if the student does not respond, fading support as independence increases.

Question 4

For a student with autism spectrum disorder who engages in repetitive behavior that interferes with learning, which evidence-based strategy involves using the preferred behavior contingent on completing work?

Accepted Answer

Premack Principle (Grandma's Rule)

Answer

The Premack Principle states that a high-probability behavior (preferred activity) can be used to reinforce a low-probability behavior (non-preferred task), making it an effective classroom strategy.

Question 5

When modifying curriculum for an ESE student, what is the key distinction between an accommodation and a modification?

Accepted Answer

Accommodations provide access without altering content standards; modifications change the content or performance expectations

Accommodations provide access to grade-level content without changing what is being learned or assessed, while modifications alter the grade-level content standards or performance expectations themselves.
