Task Analysis: Backward Chaining

Task analysis is a method of breaking multistep skills or behaviors into smaller components that can be taught one at a time. With backward chaining, the last step of the skill is taught and, once mastered, the previous step is taught. This process continues until the student can successfully perform the entire skill sequence. In this video, a teacher uses backward chaining to teach Emory how to tie her shoes.
