Overview: In hospitals, schools, group homes and in private residential settings, behavior problems are one of the most challenging areas to address. Issues such as physical aggression, self-injury and poor communication and compliance are the very barriers that can keep one from attaining personal independence. Improvements in behavior that free an individual from restrictive methods and punishing contingencies, as well as enable one to live life as he or she chooses, are always a step forward. The problem with many methods of improving behavior is that it is difficult to reinforce appropriate behavior in a timely manner. Conversely, destructive and counter-productive behavior is often reinforced (in surprising ways) much sooner than the opposite.

One of main problem with behavior improvement programs is the reinforcement (for appropriate behavior) comes too far after the time of the replacement behavior. This fundamental problem can be resolved with an innovative technique called the token economy.

About this course

There is an identified target behavior
There is an established inventory of reinforcers for the client to select from
There is an understanding among the staff serving the client of how the system works
This webinar will cover the above three areas in each case presentation. In addition, some of the history of token economy systems are presented, with a focus on contingency management programs in the correctional and other settings.

Learning Objectives:
What kind of client/patient situation can a token economy be used to improve?
Identifying and defining the target (problem) behavior
Measuring the progress of your token economy system
Using a baseline-treatment comparison to assess the effectiveness of a program
Why the focus on positive behavior (those to increase) is important
Assessing the power of a reward in each case
What should I, as a one developing a treatment plan, use as tokens? What are the physical items I should provide that would serve as tokens and how should they be distributed?
Are the tokens I have selected:
Easy to administer?
Difficult to duplicate (counterfeit)?
Easily recordable to account for they are earned and spent?
What are the backup reinforcers in each case? Why are they so important?

Overview: In hospitals, schools, group homes and in private residential settings, behavior problems are one of the most challenging areas to address. Issues such as physical aggression, self-injury and poor communication and compliance are the very barriers that can keep one from attaining personal independence. Improvements in behavior that free an individual from restrictive methods and punishing contingencies, as well as enable one to live life as he or she chooses, are always a step forward. The problem with many methods of improving behavior is that it is difficult to reinforce appropriate behavior in a timely manner. Conversely, destructive and counter-productive behavior is often reinforced (in surprising ways) much sooner than the opposite.

One of main problem with behavior improvement programs is the reinforcement (for appropriate behavior) comes too far after the time of the replacement behavior. This fundamental problem can be resolved with an innovative technique called the token economy.

In efforts to assist clients in numerous settings achieve autonomy, the token system is one of the most economical, practical and effective methods available. As written about by some of the leading researchers in psychology and behavior analysis, the benefits of token economies are that they may be potent reinforcers, can bridge the gap between the target response and the backup reinforcer and using multiple reinforcers can reduce the likelihood of a client losing interest in one reward or another.
