Many children with autism spectrum disorder have goals related to improving daily living skills. Least-to-most (LTM) prompting is an intervention that is commonly used for improving these outcomes, but it does not yet meet What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) criteria as an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). In an effort to contribute to this evidence base, the purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of using least-to-most prompting to teach three daily living skills to a 3-year old boy with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The three daily living skills included opening a lunch container, drying hands, and tracing the uppercase letter R. The LTM prompting hierarchy included an opportunity for an independent response, a gestural prompt, and then physical prompting. The results of this study found that LTM prompting was effective in teaching some, but not all daily living skills for the target student. These findings suggest LTM prompting is generally effective, but in order for it to be effective, supplemental approaches may need to be used for some students and for some skills.
