Place symbols of child's favorite reinforcers on a board. Present the board to the child and allow them to select the symbol representing the reinforcer. Immediately locate the reinforcer and place it with the symbol at the end of a token economy. The child chooses their own reinforcer and then can see how much work they need to do before they get it. Child selects the work or drill and then locates a bin that contains the materials for that drill.
Child works with teacher until work is finished.
Time period begins with four or six blank circles on a board with a symbol representing break time or picture of parent at the end of the schedule. Every ten or fifteen minutes child places a symbol representing the ten or fifteen minutes on the schedule. This way the child sees how much time they have left before they will be done.
