Does the least-to-most prompting procedure follow the sequence: no prompt, gestural prompt, verbal prompt, model, physical prompt?

The least-to-most prompting procedure is designed to provide support in a way that begins with the least intrusive assistance and escalates to more direct forms of prompting if necessary. The sequence typically follows an order that aims to encourage independence by starting with minimal support before moving to more structured assistance.

In this context, the correct understanding of the procedure suggests that the list provided does not accurately reflect the standard expected progression. Generally, the least-to-most prompting might start with no prompt or a more subtle form of prompting, such as a gestural prompt, followed by verbal prompts, modeling, and then physical prompts if the learner does not respond adequately to the earlier interventions.

Thus, the assertion that the sequence follows exactly as stated is inaccurate, which is why the answer indicating the statement is false is appropriate. Understanding this method is crucial for behavior technicians as it allows them to promote autonomy in learners effectively while still providing the necessary support.
