In this train the trainer session, Dr. Pomeranz provides attendees
with intensive hands on experience of best practice technology
for facilitating skill acquisition. Through demonstration and role-
play, attendees will enhance their skills in training “direct support
professionals” in effectively teaching individuals: daily living,
vocational, leisure, social and community participation skills. Dr.
Pomeranz focuses the session on the fundamental strategies of
promoting independence and self-determination. The
instructional strategies address: verbal prompting, training
materials usage, physical queuing, physical prompting, backward
chaining, graduated guidance, successive approximations,
proximity control and environmental engineering. The session
also reinforces the precept that an essential responsibility of all
support staff is to emancipate the individuals they support – from
unnecessary dependence.
