Teaching a task from beginning to
end Teach the child step one of thetask and assist him through therest of the skill. When the childis independent at the first step,teach him the first and second
steps as a chain and assist himthrough the remaining steps,etc.

Powerful Reinforcemento Reinforcement (SR+) is defined as anything
that increases the probability of a behavior
occurring in the future.o Our behaviors are maintained by
reinforcers(SR+): getting a paycheck forwork, friends thank us for doing favors,
people compliment your appearance.o If you don’t have a reinforcer, you don’t have
a lesson!!!!!!!!!!

How do I know what the child
likes?Perform Reinforcer Inventories/Samplers
Giving the child FREE ACCESS to a wide variety of reinforcers (should provide a choice of 6 or moreitems/activities).
Give repeated access and take note of the itemschosen two or more times.
Perform reinforcer inventories periodicallythroughout the day or as you see response ratedecrease.

LMAD – Let’s Make a Deal!Establish a “contract” with the student
by setting the deal
You will know what the child wants basedon: a) reinforcer inventory b) child request
Always follow a request with receipt of theitem/activity. NEVER FOLLOW A REQUEST
WITH A DEMAND. As child is engaging in the reinforcer, setthe deal and start the lesson.

Setting a Deal Give child access to reinforcer As child is consuming, set up
lesson materials
Get token system set up (when
applicable) Visually mediate the reinforcer
(place a picture of thereinforcer on token chart)
Begin lesson immediately
Once the lesson has started,the student can “change thereinforcer”, however thedeal starts over!

Always Follow These Principles Appropriateness: The reinforcer should be chosen
by the child. Size of the reinforcer should match themagnitude of the task. Satiation v.s. Deprivation.
Immediacy: Deliver the reinforcer within 0 – 3seconds of the behavior.
Contingency: Require the child to perform the task you have specified BEFORE delivering the reinforcer.
However, you can give FREE REINFORCEMENT!!!!Consistency: Reward behaviors on a consistent
basis or they will fall out of the child’s repertoire.

Natural v.s. Arbitrary
ReinforcersNatural reinforcers are those that would
naturally follow the behavior if the childwere not in a training situation.
Examples: Going outside after putting shoes on,eating a meal after washing hands, going torecess after lessons
Arbitrary Reinforcers are those that do notnaturally follow the behaviorExamples: Giving a cookie after touching the redblock

What in the heck is a discrete
trial? A discrete trial consists of three terms:
Sd=Discriminative stimulus - tells the child what you wanthim/her to do. Should be given in an instructional tone of
voice. It is a clear, simple instruction.P=Prompt – anything other than the Sd that increases thelikelihood of a correct response.
R=Response – give the child approximately 5 –7 seconds torespond before closing trial
C= Consequence – provide a reinforcer if response iscorrect. Give an instructional “no” if response was incorrect.Tone of voice when reinforcing should be different thanwhen child is incorrect

Beginning Discrete Trials
TrainingTERMS TO KNOW
Target (T): the newest item to be introduced in alesson
Prompt (p): assisting the child in giving the correctresponse
Distracter (d): a mastered item within a responseclass
Interrupter (i): anything that presents a timedelay and interrupts the schedule of reinforcement

The Trial Phaseso Mass Trials: Repetitious presentation of the same Sd with a
single stimuli present. Used ONLY when students are notsuccessful at Expanded Trials
o Expanded Trials: Systematic presentation of the Target whilegradually increasing the number of distracter trials
o Randomization: Random presentation of the Target withdistracters
o Discrimination Trials: Random presentation of mastered Sd’swithin a response class. Used when there are 6 or moremastered Sd’s in the response class.
o Random Trials: Random presentation of mastered Sd’s acrossresponse classes.
o Bridging Concepts: Presentation of mastered Sd’s fromvarious response classes in a FUNCTIONAL activity. Sd’s arepresented more naturally and reinforcement is primarily social.

Introducing the first item in aresponse class:
Begin in an ET0
This means that youare going to
systematicallypresent the target,but have nodistracters to use.
You will introduce
the first two Sd’s forthe response class inthis format
Example for ROL:Both items are on the table.
Repeat trials of the first item whilegradually decreasing prompts. Switchplacement of the first item once youhave completely faded your prompts
Repeat trials of the second item thesame way you introduced the first.
Be sure that the child can identify bothitems regardless of the placement

Randomization of the first two
items:Now that the childcan identify theitems regardless of
placementindependently:
Present the items inrandom order while
randomly switchingthe placement of each item
The purpose of thisstep is to ensurethat the child is ableto identify the itemsbased on theirproperties and not
their placement orpatterns in the Sd’s.

Once the child is independent at the Target,follow the Target trial with one distracter.Now return to the Target.

Once the child is able to identify the Targetindependently, follow the Target trial with twodistracters rather than just one (trying to move morequickly through this process as more items areintroduced) . Now do the Target again. Deliver theprimary reinforcer.

Error Correction Procedure
When do I use EC?
Only use the errorcorrection procedure
on the Target trialIf there is an error on adistracter, close thetrial with a “no”
ERROR CORRECTION
Because errors indiscrete trials are
discrimination errors,use Model, Prompt,Switch, Repeat
Model the response,
Prompt it, Switch tosomething else, andR epeat the trial.

performed, accessto activity
Tact – commentingon the environment
(that’s a ball, youare walking slowly,your shirt is blue)
Intraverbal – response to otherverbal stimulus

Need a listener and a prompter, reinforcersand corresponding pictures
NO VERBAL Sd is givenWait for the child to reach for the item andprompter will physically assist the child topick up the picture (from behind) and place it
in the hand of the listener (listener has handopen in front of the child as a prompt).
Fade the prompter first and then fade theopen hand cue of the listener.

PHASE II
Once the child can exchange the iconindependently, work on distancing
You will need to distance two things: Thelistener from the child and then the book from the child
Gradually increase distance as the child is
successful Also begin to put the picture on the book

Begin by using a highly preferred item and a non-preferred item
Then move to three icons – highly, moderately andnon-preferred
Increase the number of icons
RUN CORRESPONDANCE CHECKS
Begin to introduce attributesErrors made in this phase are discrimination errorsand should be corrected with MPSR
