From Prompting to Independence: Supporting Neurodiverse Learners

If your voice disappeared from the car tomorrow, how much of your learner's driving ability would remain?
It's one of the most important questions a driving instructor can ask.
Prompts and instructor support are essential while somebody is learning. The problem comes when that support never reduces and the learner becomes dependent upon the person sitting beside them.
From Prompting to Independence explores how ADIs and PDIs can plan learning, scaffold difficult tasks, gradually fade support and transfer responsibility to the learner.
It brings together practical approaches to understanding the individual learner, lesson planning, prompting, fading support, resilience and independent decision-making.
The aim isn't simply to create a learner who can perform while their instructor is sitting beside them. It is to develop someone who can observe, think, decide, act, reflect and adapt independently.
Particularly useful for instructors working with learners who appear to make good progress with prompting but struggle when that support is removed.
