Patrick McGreevy, a BCBA, explains in this article that errorless teaching should be considered in these four specific situations:
"1) with very young children with developmental disabilities, including autism, especially if these children have exhibited a tendency to avoid instructional situations
2) with children or adults who have a history of failure with respect to specific academic tasks or school itself
3) with children or adults with developmental disabilities, who exhibit severe aggressive or self-injurious behavior
4) with children who have experienced any form of abuse."
I use errorless teaching often during direct instruction, but I've also started to use it during independent work for my students who are more reluctant to work independently. I want to share a few tips and ideas for how to make errorless learning activities.
