Leasttomost prompting is the most appropriate procedure when a client has a history of prompt dependency because it prioritizes the use of the least intrusive prompts first This approach encourages the learner to respond independently or with minimal assistance reducing the likelihood of becoming overly reliant on prompts By starting with less intrusive prompts eg verbal gestural and only escalating to more intrusive ones eg physical if necessary the procedure systematically fades prompts helping to prevent the client from becoming dependent In contrast mosttoleast prompting starts with the most intrusive prompt which could reinforce prompt dependency Graduated guidance while quickly fading prompts is a physical prompting procedure making it highly intrusive initially Modeling is less intrusive than physical prompts but still more intrusive than some initial prompts in a leasttomost hierarchy and could still lead to dependency if not carefully faded especially for a client with a history of prompt dependency The goal is to avoid overintrusive and elongated prompts to foster independence
