• Successive approximations (get a child with autism to wear glasses) or Baby Steps
• Chaining forwards and backwards--knowing what the child already can do (alphabet and tying shoes)

Level SystemLevel System
Pros• Promote self management if there is movement from structure to less structured
• Grades and levels better than food

Level Systems
Cons• Requires a highly organized teacher • Can be complicated:
• Different children are on different levels. • More levels = more paperwork• Communication with parents, daily figuring of points, weekly tallies
• Establish criteria for progression (rules and levels)
• Easy to change from positive to negative• Satiation

Type: Extinction =ignoring •you can ignore:
• -adult attention seeking behavior
•you cannot ignore:• -danger to self/others• -screaming
•Guidelines:• 1) use ignoring with praise
• 2) behavior escalates initially
• 3) be consistent
zentall 19
Type: Time-Out • Best Type:
Inclusionary• head on desk, move child, but allow view of others being reinforced
• Type: Exclusionary • move student out of room or to principal’s
• Use T-O with:• rules, warning, implement & restate rule, ignore child
• release when time up, shows appropriate behavior or fixes situation.

Essential ElementsDisciplinary responses
• punishment not as good as R+
• not emotional (acts of power)
• should be rational like basketball • with consistency, rules, and penalties
• with positive concern for the total game and players
• not to lower status or dignity of individual player or team
zentall 22
PunishmentEffects Change with
Age•1. Rationale with punishment necessary by 3rd grade
•2. Emergence of self-control
zentall 23
Type: DRL
Differential Reinforce a Low Rate of Behavior
Example: “Great you only interrupted once in that conversation”
• Certain Behavior is ok if not too frequent:• straying off subject• monopolizing discussion• borrowing supplies, sharpening pencils, etc.
zentall 24
Types: DRI, DRO• Diff. Rein. of Incompatible
Behavior• Reinforce a related response, such as verbal requests while ignoring verbal complaints
• Diff. Rein. Other Behavior• Reinforce replacement behavior
•-reinforce peer interactions while ignoring child’s attempts to get teacher attention
•-give the child a pencil with foam end as a way to replace drumming on desk with a pencil

OthersOthers• Overcorrrection (messes)• Restitution (stealing)• Natural consequences• Physical restraint• Satiation (spitballs, smoking) vs. Positive practice
• Response cost + positive reserves

FOR STUDENTS WITH ADHDPOSITIVE CONSEQUENCES (R+)
1. PRAISE effort with affect
2. with PRIVILEGES or fines
3. CHANGE R+
4. NOT Tooooo APPEALING
5. SELF-CHECKING
zentall 31
FOR STUDENTS WITH ADHD NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES (R-)
1. NOT FOR TASK-AVOIDANCE2. NOT LOUD or EMOTIONAL R-3 . NOT WITHDRAWAL OF ACTIVITY4. NOT EXCLUSIONARY TIME-OUT
zentall 34
Classroom Rules• Feet on the floor• Before talking you must raise your hands• You must say “yes mam” to the instructor• asking questions, giving examples, and adding interesting information = 1 penny
• you need tokens or pennies to get a break
• 15 tokens = choice of toy/supply

Toby
• Toby is an SEH student with conduct disorder and a learning disability in reading.
• Behavioral: Toby is often disruptive in class. He talks out often and teases other students. Therefore, he has few friends.
• Reading: Early on he had trouble identifying letters in his name and numbers to 10. Yet when completing childrens’ puzzles, people were amazed with his speed and accuracy at correctly matching the pieces.
•
zentall 36
• Currently, Toby is unable to identify certain dipthongs and blends. Toby is able to pronounce all of the letter sounds (e.g., b-l-a-c-k), but then pronounces the word as traffic.
• testing has indicated independent reading level at 2nd grade, instructional reading level at the 3th grade, and listening comprehension at the 5th grade
