Understanding and using prompts correctly is a core skill for Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). To support ethical, effective instruction in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we created a free Prompting Hierarchy Visual designed specifically for RBTs working in real-world settings.
This one-page PDF provides a clear overview of common prompting levels, from independent responding to full physical prompts, with simple descriptions and examples. It’s ideal for quick reference during sessions, supervision meetings, or RBT onboarding and training.
Using prompts appropriately helps learners succeed while avoiding prompt dependence. RBTs should always follow the behavior plan and BCBA guidance, use the least intrusive prompt necessary, and systematically fade prompts to promote independence. This visual reinforces those best practices in a clear, easy-to-remember format.
