After the learner has received reinforcement for completing the task with physical prompts, a less restrictive prompt is given (e.g., a partial physical prompt), and then an even less restrictive prompt (e.g., verbal prompt).
The two types of prompting in a behavior chain are either most to least(MTL) or least to most (LTM). MTL prompting is when the most intrusive prompt is introduced initially and then systematically faded out to least intrusive prompts.

The WebABLLS is an electronic version of the assessment. It allows parents, teachers, speech pathologists, behavior analysts, and others who design, coordinate, or supervise language or skill-acquisition programs to expedite the development of IEPs, progress reports, and to easily share information about a child.
