A Few Key Points
 Reinforcement is anything that comes after a
  behavior that increases the likelihood the behavior
  will occur again.

 If you want to change someone else’s behavior, first
  change your own.

 If challenging behaviors exist, two things must
  occur
   Adapt the environment
   Teach AND REINFORCE new skills
Strategies for Increasing
     Reinforcement
Make it
rewarding!
So what do we reinforce, and
   how do we reinforce it?
Its about the bells and
         whistles
Celebration!
Great job!
Way to go!
Woohoo!!!!
What are we reinforcing?
 New skills – reinforce with high rate (a lot of reinforcement
  with high frequency) for new or desired behaviors.


 Maintenance – use a variable rate (less often and not every
  time the behavior happens)



 Practice – use a variable rate



 Prompted behavior – high rate, smaller amount (reinforce
  often but do not use a large amount of the reinforcer)
What are we not reinforcing?
Danger, danger!
We do not reinforce behaviors

we wish to extinguish (get rid of)!

Remember, timeout and reprimands are a reinforcers for
  some!

                                      Turn those “rewards”

                                and “reinforcers” around –
We know the ”what” of
    reinforcement…
so how do we reinforce it?
If you’ve met
one child
with Autism…


        You’ve met one child!
    The same holds true for   reinforcers –
              they are very individual.

        One size does not fit all.
Where to start?
            Assessment!
   Know your student!

   Begin with a list of:

1. likes,
2. LOVE IT

3. GOTTA HAVE IT NOW!!!
4. and dislikes
Test for preferences
Consider your student’s special interests –

                  String

              Ripping paper

               Sponge Bob

               Disney trivia

                 cookies
Test for new preferences
Big Idea


  The reinforcer must be reinforcing to the
student for it to work. Some students need a
variety of reinforcers to keep their interest
 and motivation moving, and they may change
           reinforcers frequently.
Tantalize and Tempt

 Make it something to want.

     Make it visually accessible, or
     something that they can see.



  Make it a reward.
Tantalize and Tempt
How?
Container with a lid


Put item up high
or out of reach


Hide item –
use picture icon
How to remove the reinforcer to
       keep them working

“my turn”

Food items –
 only offer small bites
How to keep them working

Earning pieces to get rewards -
 Token or coin system
 1,2,3
 Puzzle pieces to favorite puzzle
Try a timer
Use what you have
 Computer time
 Reading corner
 TV time
 Swing
 Music
 Puzzles
Use what you have
 People rewards
 Home rewards (agreed upon with parents)
 Free time
 Coloring
 Painting
 Playdough
 Quiet time
 Computer time
Use “stims”
 “Love to jump?”
 Finish this task and you can jump!
Speaking of jump…




 Don’t make them jump through hoops.
 Make your goals reasonable and your reinforcement
  powerful.
Preference choice board
    Using pictures or boardmaker symbols




Choice of activity, treat or song
Additional thoughts…
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket –


Reserve some reinforcers and alternate to retain
  effectiveness


                             Always have a backup plan –


                   Assess, assess, assess!
Good places to shop/look
 Dollar tree
 Fast food prizes in kid meals
 Family
 Look to your classroom
 Check your junk drawer
 Goodwill, second hand stores
Big Idea


 If the student never earns the
    reinforcer, the system isn’t
  working… to build any new skill
individual’s need LOTS AND LOTS
   of reinforcement all day long.

  • 5. Training Series Modules  Module Twenty: Asperger Syndrome: Managing and Organizing the Environment  Module Twenty-One: Asperger Syndrome: Addressing Social Skills
  • 6. A Few Key Points  Reinforcement is anything that comes after a behavior that increases the likelihood the behavior will occur again.  If you want to change someone else’s behavior, first change your own.  If challenging behaviors exist, two things must occur  Adapt the environment  Teach AND REINFORCE new skills
  • 9. So what do we reinforce, and how do we reinforce it?
  • 10. Its about the bells and whistles Celebration! Great job! Way to go! Woohoo!!!!
  • 11. What are we reinforcing?  New skills – reinforce with high rate (a lot of reinforcement with high frequency) for new or desired behaviors.  Maintenance – use a variable rate (less often and not every time the behavior happens)  Practice – use a variable rate  Prompted behavior – high rate, smaller amount (reinforce often but do not use a large amount of the reinforcer)
  • 12. What are we not reinforcing? Danger, danger! We do not reinforce behaviors we wish to extinguish (get rid of)! Remember, timeout and reprimands are a reinforcers for some! Turn those “rewards” and “reinforcers” around –
  • 13. We know the ”what” of reinforcement… so how do we reinforce it?
  • 14. If you’ve met one child with Autism… You’ve met one child! The same holds true for reinforcers – they are very individual. One size does not fit all.
  • 15. Where to start? Assessment!  Know your student!  Begin with a list of: 1. likes, 2. LOVE IT 3. GOTTA HAVE IT NOW!!! 4. and dislikes
  • 16. Test for preferences Consider your student’s special interests – String Ripping paper Sponge Bob Disney trivia cookies
  • 17. Test for new preferences
  • 18. Big Idea The reinforcer must be reinforcing to the student for it to work. Some students need a variety of reinforcers to keep their interest and motivation moving, and they may change reinforcers frequently.
  • 19. Tantalize and Tempt Make it something to want. Make it visually accessible, or something that they can see. Make it a reward.
  • 20. Tantalize and Tempt How? Container with a lid Put item up high or out of reach Hide item – use picture icon
  • 21. How to remove the reinforcer to keep them working “my turn” Food items – only offer small bites
  • 22. How to keep them working Earning pieces to get rewards -  Token or coin system  1,2,3  Puzzle pieces to favorite puzzle
  • 24. Use what you have  Computer time  Reading corner  TV time  Swing  Music  Puzzles
  • 25. Use what you have  People rewards  Home rewards (agreed upon with parents)  Free time  Coloring  Painting  Playdough  Quiet time  Computer time
  • 26. Use “stims”  “Love to jump?”  Finish this task and you can jump!
  • 27. Speaking of jump…  Don’t make them jump through hoops.  Make your goals reasonable and your reinforcement powerful.
  • 28. Preference choice board Using pictures or boardmaker symbols Choice of activity, treat or song
  • 29. Additional thoughts… Don’t put all your eggs in one basket – Reserve some reinforcers and alternate to retain effectiveness Always have a backup plan – Assess, assess, assess!
  • 30. Good places to shop/look  Dollar tree  Fast food prizes in kid meals  Family  Look to your classroom  Check your junk drawer  Goodwill, second hand stores
  • 31. Big Idea If the student never earns the reinforcer, the system isn’t working… to build any new skill individual’s need LOTS AND LOTS of reinforcement all day long.
