| What can the behavior analyst do to promote unscripted responses while training with scripts? | What are some considerations for script fading? |
|---|---|
Fade the scripts early and use differential reinforcement | Fade the script systematically by dropping 1 word of the scripted phrase at a time |
use multiple exemplars | start deleting the last word in each script |
use a visual promt | when and how quickly |
Begin fading the script as soon as data supports the client having mastery over the full script. | Fade the last word of the script first. |
Involve differential reinforcement for unscripted responses, initiate script fading procedures throughout intervention | Fade by dropping the last word of the script |
BCBA can use script fading early on in training and use a VR schedule as well as differential reinforcement. | The materials/activities available in the natural work environment. |
teach frames | start early |
Script fading, frames | generalization |
Start with scripts and fade them gradually. Use differential reinforcement, train multiple exemplars, and Role-play different scenarios | Gradual Reduction Reinforcement, Variety of Contexts, natural prompts, monitor progress, and error correction. |
scripts | fit in better with her co-workers. |
systematic | use the last word |
Have training sessions with Cheryl to practice these skills prior to break time | Can the scripts be given by audio |
Train with scripts in isolation, and then, once beginning to fade, differentially reinforce and finally move to generalization (in break room) | Client's ability to produce speech, client's ability to adapt to new/novel adults and scenarios |
fade scripting, use a variety of scripts | how to do so in a way that seems natural |
Set up frame phrases | Multiple exemplars of frame phrases, eliminating a word at a time. |
She could have her scripts on a piece of paper that would be more natural in her environment. The paper could include frames of compliments/social interactions | Scripts should be faded quickly to promote unscripted responses. |
Utilize script fading early in the intervention. | The interventionist may want to vary scripts and start fading the last word of the script. Furthermore, scripts should be chosen based on observing peers and what the peer may be saying. |
N/A | N/A |
Prioritize prompt/script fading immediately. Use differential reinforcement for unscripted responses (possibly delayed or hidden to support privacy). | Removing the last word of script phrase. Do this after she meets the mastery criteria set and gradually continue but fade as quickly as possible to promote unscripted responses. |
Use audio scripts and fade use bst | Length |
Use script fading | May not always account for generalization |
start with a variety of scripts and fade early | start fading scripts early |
1. Use Script Fading Techniques | Remove scripts in small, manageable steps: |
Test | Test |
Train multiple examples and fade prompts reducing the last word when presenting the script on each prompt fade | When fighting the script, reduce the length of the phrase by the last word and consider providing visual problems as well |
