Document Summary
To treat clients" problems, behavior therapies modify maintaining antecedents (record), maintaining consequences, or both. Prompting: prompting provides people with cues (prompts) that remind or instruct them to perform a behavior or indicate that it is appropriate to perform a behavior. Four categories of prompts: verbal, environmental, physical, behavioral. 1- verbal prompts: involve telling clients what they are expected to do. For example, children would approach the teacher with a completed assignment and say, i finished all my math problems to remind the teacher to praise them. 2- environmental prompts: are cues in the environment, such as signs, that remind clients to perform behaviors ex: alarm, written cues pictorial signs. 3- physical prompts: (also called physical guidance) involve using physical touch to direct a client to perform a behavior, such as teaching a child to write by holding the child"s hand and helping the child make the required movements.
