Selecting Goals
• In early intervention you need to look at child’s IFSP outcomes and base it off of those.
• You will also need to assess the child and look at the total percentages of each program to see if it should be a program.

Early Intervention Outcome Example
• Imitate and produce simple and environmental sounds

Selecting Goals for Early Intervention
• Look at table of contents• Look at picking programs• Look at curriculum assessment
Lindsay Hilsen, M.Ed, BCBA

Selecting Goals for Preschool
• Base it on the IEP• Assessment results

Curriculum
•Look at assessment to see what step you should start on
– Sample: Quiet HandsThe child was able to complete step 1 according to the
assessment so start on step 2•Generalization is built into each step•Measurement/Criterion
– Probe or Trial by Trial– 3 Consecutive Y’s or 90% independent over 3 consecutive
days

PromptingPROMPT NAME PROMPT ABBREVIATION PROMPT DESCRIPTION
Physical Prompt P You use hand over hand so
there is no room for error
Faded Physical FP You use more of guide from
the shoulder or elbow and
lead the student to the
correct answer
Gesture G You point to the correct
answer, you can also use
your eyes to “gesture” or
look at the correct answer
The most common prompts are provided below in a most to least intrusive hierarchy.

PromptingVerbal V or VP You provide the student with
the exact word/words that you
want them to say (Ex. “what
is your name- Johnny”
student then says “Johnny”
Faded Verbal FV You provide the student with
the start of the word/words
that you want them to say
(Ex. “what is your name- Joh”
student then says “Johnny”

Discrete Trial
• Discrete trial is when you take an isolated task and present the student with a cue (Sd-discriminative stimulus) that indicates to them what they need to do.
Lindsay Hilsen, M.Ed, BCBA
![Page 19: A Step by Step curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55619c38d8b42ad9538b4674/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Discrete Trial• The first way: • Present the Sd (discriminative stimulus, cue) • Wait 3-30 seconds (processing time depending on students needs)• Correct response mark a + (for independent)• The below example will demonstrate what to do for an incorrect
response– Present Sd – Wait time--- student begins to respond incorrectly/does not respond– Immediately try to interrupt and prompt to the correct response– Then do a teaching trial (this is the errorless part discussed earlier in
the book)• Represent Sd and immediately prompt correct response. Remember this is all
one trial.
Lindsay Hilsen, M.Ed, BCBA

Discrete Trial-example• Adult- Sd: “touch head”• Student- correct response, student touches head (see box 1
receptive body id)• Adult- “great job touching your head. Do this (open mouth)”• Student- student opens his mouth (see box 1 oral motor)• Adult- “wow I love the way you opened your mouth, now give me a
high five”• Student- No Response • Adult- physically prompts student to give a high five and then does
a teaching trial (immediately represents Sd “give me a high five” and the adult immediately prompts the student to give a high five. This is all one trial (see box 1 one step directions).

Graphing Reminders• Include the date• I like to include the initials of the person that
worked with the student that day/session. I write the initials under the date.
• Include trend lines. This is the straight line that is used to separate the steps. It shows that you are now working on a new step.
• Connect the dots on the same step. • Do not connect the last dot of one step and the
very next dot on the next step.

Probe• Probe data can either be collected daily, weekly, bi-weekly,
monthly etc. • So the question is how do you take probe data?
– The purpose of probe data is to test to see if the student has the skill the first time presented that day.
– So that is exactly when you take the data. – At this point you will present the Sd and if the student can do it
independently then you will circle Y (yes) or the student could not do it independently then you will circle N (no).
– You will then move on to the next program and probe that skill. – Once you are finished probing for the day, you can then put
your data sheet away and just focus on teaching the skill.

1st TRIAL PROBE WITH PROMPT LEVELS
• I really like to see the prompt level that was required in order for the student to be successful.
• I can tell if the student is making progress. – For example, if I am working on a skill for 2 months and all I see
on the probe data sheet is all N’s circled, I am going to discontinue that program due to lack of progress.
– However, if I am taking prompt levels, then I will hopefully see that for the first couple of sessions the student needed a physical prompt, then a couple of session after, the student needed a faded physical, then a few session after that they only needed a gestural prompt and so on. This was I can see that the student is making progress and therefore, the program would not need to be discontinued.

Mastered
• Designed as probe data• Each time a step is mastered it should go into
the mastered routine– Probe 2x per month
• Child receives a N data point, probe the skill the next day, if the child receives another N then the step/program needs to go back into the daily teaching routine until criteria of mastery is met again.
