In this clip, we see the teacher providing a quick, gestural prompt to Miles. The teacher points to where Miles should place the drink when restocking the fridge at the school store. (gentle music) (footsteps thudding) By pointing to the specific location, the teacher helps to clarify the task by reducing ambiguity.
- It's cold.
- It is cold in there, isn't it? Good job. Let's do one more.

In this instance, a gestural prompt was less intrusive than a verbal prompt, and effectively communicated what Miles needed to do without relying solely on verbal prompts. (gentle music)
Prompting is an evidence-based practice designed to direct a student’s attention. Using the least restrictive prompt possible allows for quick fading.
