Beyond the Prompt: Understanding Prompt Fading, Dependency, and Their Behavioral Foundations

Featuring Dr. Eric  Maier, BCBA-D

1 Learning CEU

For both RBTs and BCBAs

As behavior technicians, we often focus on teaching new skills through carefully selected prompts. But how often do we stop and think about the long-term impact of those prompts? How do they influence a client’s ability to respond independently—not just in the moment, but across time, settings, and people? In this course, we’ll take a deeper dive into prompt fading—not just the how, but the why behind fading prompts effectively and how failing to do so can lead to prompt dependency that undermines learning.
