prompt dependency/learned helplessness

[Guest guest]

I would appreciate some discussion on the list about prompt

dependency. How it begins, and experiences with reversing the

trend. Response from parents and professionals would be

wonderful. Especially dealing with older children/teens.

I would be interested in overcoming this obstacle when the prompt

dependency has become a conditioned response over many years due

to improperly using and fading the prompts.

Thank you all in advance for any input/direction to resources you

might provide.
