"Mr. Jones is teaching an adult (Sandie) who lives in his group home to make macaroni and cheese from a box. Mr. Jones prompts Sandie to do all steps of the task using full physical prompts, except for the last step, which is to serve the macaroni and cheese on a plate. For this step, Mr. Jones is using a most-to-least prompting sequence. When Sandie has mastered that skill, Mr. Jones plans to have Sandie do the stirring and the serving (the last two steps of the task). What procedure is Mr. Jones using?"

Prompting procedures are used for critical component of instruction is the systematic. When providing instruction to a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a teacher or paraprofessional can use minimal prompts or more intrusive ones depending on the needs of each student. The least to most prompting procedure uses an array of prompts sequenced together for assisting a student to learn a new skill. When the teacher provides instruction, he or she sequences the prompts starting with the least intrusive then moving to the next intrusive. Prompts continue to be delivered one at a time until the student has completed the desired task.
