When less physical help is provided during a response, which prompt is used?

A partial physical prompt is used when less physical assistance is provided during a response. This type of prompt involves guiding the learner's movements or actions in a way that is less intrusive than a full physical prompt. The goal is to gradually fade the amount of assistance given, encouraging the learner to develop greater independence in completing the task.

Using a partial physical prompt can help practitioners build the learner's skills while also promoting confidence. By providing just enough assistance to support the learner without doing the entire task for them, this method helps reinforce the idea that they can achieve success on their own with minimal support.

Other prompts, such as verbal or modeling prompts, involve different methods of support, and full physical prompts provide complete assistance, which may be less beneficial for promoting independent behavior in the long term.
