| Promoting unscripted responses |
begin script fading as soon as possible, use a prompt delay and differential reinforcement for unscripted responses
|
- Differentially reinforce novel responses during training
- Teach a script frame that may be filled with a novel response each time it is used (e.g., Hood et al., 2020; Groskreutz et al., 2015)
- Fade out the script, dropping one word from the end at a time (Wichnick-Gillis et al., 2019; also useful for promoting unscripted responses as well as prompt fading)

- Fade out the script, dropping one word from the end at a time (Wichnick-Gillis et al., 2019; also useful for promoting unscripted responses as well as prompt fading)
- Consider switching to other types of prompts, such as textural or audio, if the learner is not able to respond without the presence of the current prompt
- Insert a prompt delay, independent responding may be demonstrated without the need to fade (Lopez and Wiskow, 2019)
- If using reinforcement, switch to a VR schedule (Wichnick-Gillis et al., 2019)
