Utilizing GoogleMeets™ to Implement Prompting Strategies During Instruction for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

Students with developmental disabilities and communication delays, particularly autism spectrum disorder (ASD), participate in academic instruction through a continuum of services and environments. This includes the use of web-conferencing and screen-sharing platforms to deliver instruction across a variety of settings. The use of systematic prompting often includes stimulus and response prompts, both of which can be conducted via a distance education platform. This column provides three procedures to deliver instruction to students with ASD via GoogleMeets™. These include addressing environmental considerations, prompting while web-conferencing, and using the screen-sharing feature to provide these prompts.

Learning experience design of verbal prompts in virtual reality-based training for autistic children

“…In general, prompts have been widely utilized in training interventions for autistic learners (Aljehany & Bennett, 2020;Katz, 2021;Sundberg et al, 2000). Research reports that prompts can be delivered through methods such as video modelling and direct instruction in interventions for autistic learners (Bell, 2022;McCoy & Hermansen, 2007).…”
