186. Using Reinforcement Effectively in Instruction of Students With Autism
Manage episode 380050386 series 3228277
We know reinforcement can be incredibly effective for our students with autism when used correctly. But how can we ensure that we are using reinforcements in the best and most effective way possible? Not every student is going to have the same reinforcers, and not every skill for the student is going to have the reinforcers.
To help you implement reinforcement more effectively, I am sharing what reinforcement actually is, three elements of effective reinforcement, and what action step you can take to help improve the effectiveness of reinforcements inside your classroom.
02:03 - The importance of pairing ourselves and instruction with things that are reinforcing to the student
02:38 - Why the whole classroom team needs to be clear on what specific performance is being reinforced
05:18 - How and why we should be differentiating our reinforcement for different skills
07:13 - The action step you can take to help improve the use of reinforcers in your classroom
