- So our goal is to fade to more naturally occurring reinforcers. So if we think of what reinforcers occur in the environment, it's things like praise and work completion, or getting a good grade or a paycheck. That might not be where your child is now. You might need to start with more contrived reinforcers, like food or an iPad or a break, and that's okay. That's where you'll start, but your goal is to get to those naturally occurring reinforcers. So to get there, you wanna pair praise and work completion with your star charts and your iPads and your pieces of food, so eventually, things like praise are reinforcing on its own. (calm music)
Your goal should be to fade reinforcers to more naturally occurring reinforcers. Featuring Sasha Long, founder of the Autism Helper.
