Question

Children with special needs can be taught to ride the bus successfully by boarding the bus outside the school and then getting off; boarding the bus a short distance away from the school and getting off at school, and gradually traveling longer distances, until eventually the child successfully rides the complete bus trip. This illustrated behavioral strategy is called?

Answer 1

The answer is Backwards training

Step-by-step explanation:

Backwards training is a technique which is used in applied behavior analysis to each complex task. It refers to breaking down the steps of a task and teaching the child in reverse order. It gives the child an experience of success and completion with every attempt. Just like in the question, the child starts by boarding the bus right outside the school and getting off (instead of boarding from home), then boards a short distance away from school and gets off at school, the child gradually starts boarding the bus from a longer distance until eventually the child can successfully ride a complete bus trip.
