Chaining Method

Teach steps in order from first to last. Learner completes mastered steps independently, then receives instruction on the next step.

Best for: When early steps are easier or more motivating | Skills where order is critical | Building independence gradually

What is Task Analysis?

Task analysis breaks complex skills into smaller, teachable components. Each step is specific, observable, and measurable.

Used for teaching daily living skills, academic tasks, vocational skills, and more.

Writing Good Steps

  • Start with action verbs
  • Keep steps observable and measurable
  • Break down complex steps further
  • Consider learner skill level
  • Test the analysis yourself first

Data Collection

Track performance on each step using:

  • - Independent (+) / Prompted (P) / Not attempted (-)
  • - Prompt level hierarchy tracking
  • - Percentage of independent steps
