In the field of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), differences exist in recommendations related to prompting strategies. Some practitioners insist on avoidance of all physical prompts, while others select prompts that are individualized for each learner within each activity. This presentation will explore the difference between strategies designed to help an individual learn new skills (prompts) versus environmental factors that signal behavior (cues). In addition, strategies to eliminate prompts will be described in relation to AAC instructional design and implementation. To conclude, participants will explore the conditions under which physical prompts may be introduced and systematically eliminated to ensure independent communication skills.
