Utilizing GoogleMeets™ to Implement Prompting Strategies During Instruction for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

Students with developmental disabilities and communication delays, particularly autism spectrum disorder (ASD), participate in academic instruction through a continuum of services and environments. This includes the use of web-conferencing and screen-sharing platforms to deliver instruction across a variety of settings. The use of systematic prompting often includes stimulus and response prompts, both of which can be conducted via a distance education platform. This column provides three procedures to deliver instruction to students with ASD via GoogleMeets™. These include addressing environmental considerations, prompting while web-conferencing, and using the screen-sharing feature to provide these prompts.
