An experimental approach for selecting a response-prompting strategy for children with developmental disabilities: A reply to Gast

Pages 226-233 | Published online: 10 Apr 2012
 

Abstract

Recently, Gast (Citation2011) wrote a review of our study that compared simultaneous prompting to no–no prompting (Leaf, Sheldon, & Sherman, 2010). This review highlighted the key aspects of our study and provided a critique of certain elements. There are several areas where we disagree with Gast's conclusions. Despite the shortcomings of our study, which we acknowledge, we are satisfied that it still constitutes evidence that a prompting procedure that permits learner errors can be a justifiable and sound teaching strategy. Given the importance to parents and clinicians of selecting an effective and efficient prompting procedure, we felt that a response to Gast's paper was warranted.
