Time Delay and System of Least Prompts: A Comparison in Teaching Manual Sign Production.

Bennett, Diana L.; And Others

Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, v21 n2 p117-29 Jun 1986

The effectiveness and efficiency of two instructional prompting procedures, progressive time delay and the system of least prompts, in teaching manual signs was evaluated with three moderately or severely retarded adolescents with additional handicaps. Results indicated both procedures were effective though the time delay method appeared to be more efficient. (Author/DB)
