Developing Behavioral Fluency for Students With Autism

Abstract

With the increase of students with autism in public schools, alternative schools, and in-home programming, attention to effective learning procedures has increased. A general model based on precision teaching for practicing behavior to fluency is presented as a guide for teachers and parents. This model applies to a wide variety of skills and can be tailored for individual students. The procedure for conducting efficient practice fall into four broad categories: (a) planning the practice routine, (b) developing the practice routine, (c) implementing the practice methods, and (d) analysis of data.
