Instructional Strategies
Session 6
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.
