Autofade Prompt Levels
- Meredith Ouimette
New Feature! As a BCBA, if I want to auto-fade prompt levels based on the mastery criteria, this is now a setting when using automastery. This feature will save time if you need to ensure that prompt levels need to fade from most restrictive to least restrive prior to a target or step being mastered.

Client Program: Setting up prompt levels
| Tip! 1.Before setting up the auto-fade prompts, make sure that your prompt levels are set up in the client program area from least restrictive at the top to most restrictive at the bottom.  2.Select the correct prompt for each target or step that you will start with when teaching the skill. 
| Review setting up goals with prompt levels to make sure the client program is set up for auto-fade prompt fading. |
Client Program Settings | By default, when Automastery is turned on, the Autoprompt fading setting for all skills with prompts will be turned on.
| Good to Know! Autoprompt fading can’t be used without Automastery. |
Individual Program level | If Automastery is turned on, Auto Fade Prompts will be checked/turned on.
| Autofade prompts can be turned on/off for Opportunity based with prompts and Task Analysis with prompts. Prompt levels can be manually changed at any point in time even with the Autofade prompts checked. Ex. If you need to go back to a more restrictive prompt, just edit the client program and change the correct prompt for a target or step. |
Data entry: Opportunity based with prompts | Once mastery criteria is met for a target or step using autoprompt fading it will automatically fade to the next less restrictive prompt level in the prompt hierachy. Auto-Mastery of the target will not occur until all prompt levels have been faded according to the hierarchy and mastery criteria. | Autofading with opportunity based with prompts:

Data entry: Task Analysis Data Collection | Once mastery criteria is met for a step with a task analysis using automprompt fading, it will automaticall fade to the next less restrictive prompt level in the prompt hierarchy. Automastery of the step will not occur until all prompt levels have been faded according the hirarchy and mastery criteria. | Autoprompt fading with chains: Forward chain: Autofading of prompt levels will be done per step when using a forward chain. Once the step has faded to independent, only then will that step meet mastery criteria and then be automastered. The view below is Automastery and Autofade prompts both turned on: Backwards chain: Autofading of prompt levels will be done per step when using a backwards chain. Once the step has faded to independent, only then will that step meet mastery criteria and then be automastered. The view below is Automastery and Autofade prompts both turned on:
Total Task: Autoprompt fading will be done for the whole total task as well as if individual steps have differnt prompt levels set up as the correct prompt.The view below is Automastery and Autofade prompts both turned on:
