The teacher uses gestures or other physical prompts to assist students.

• A. Modeling
• B. Nonverbal Prompting
• C. Occupational Therapist
• D. Peer Practice

Answer: (B)

Nonverbal prompting uses gestures or physical cues to guide a student toward the correct response without relying on spoken language. In practice, a teacher might point to a word, demonstrate a motion with a hand, or lightly touch a student's hand to initiate an action. This type of prompt supports learners who benefit from concrete, visible cues and can be faded over time to build independence. It’s different from modeling, which focuses on showing how to do the task (often through demonstration), and from roles like an occupational therapist or peer practice, which involve distinct functions or student-to-student interaction rather than the teacher’s use of nonverbal cues.
