Sfs Constant Time Delay

Constant time delay (CTD) is a systematic teaching approach that prompts students to respond to tasks within a specified time. It works by providing cues or prompts to help students acquire new skills and behaviors, which are then faded out to promote independent responding. CTD can be effective for students with disabilities like autism, emotional/behavioral disorders, or ADHD. The CTD procedure involves providing an antecedent cue for the skill, allowing the student to respond, and providing feedback - initially immediate feedback, but gradually increasing the wait time. Clear cues help students provide accurate responses.

What it is

Constant time delay (CTD) is a


systematic approach to
teaching that prompts students
to respond to a given task
within a specified time.

How it works
Prompts or cues are given to
acquire new skills/behaviors
and are faded out to help
generalize in naturally
occurring situations.

This particular strategy works for all


students, through every content area and
generalized activities. This strategy has
proven effective for students with mild to
profound disabilities including:

Autism

Emotional Behavior Disorder

English Language Learners

ADHD

CTD
Procedure
1. Antecedent (cue)
-

Skill or behavior to be
learned

Consistent so student knows


exactly what to do

Picture or Verbal (e.g.


washing hands)

2. Target Behavior/
Skills
-

Response to stimulus

Correct/Incorrect

3. Feedback
-

Begin with immediate


feedback (0 sec), then
increase wait time

Correct Response = Positive


feedback or reinforcement

Incorrect Response =
Repeating the cue and
necessary prompt for
successful reaction

* Clear Cues = Accurate Responses
