| Description: Practical applications and examples of token-based motivational systems and basic behavior plans (BIPs) will focus on using token systems to increase academic skills, appropriate social behavior, and habilitative responses (academically, behaviorally, and socially). We will also present examples of behavior plans and contracts and will discuss developing and implementing BIPs based on the results of a functional analysis. Examples of specific token systems and behavior plans will be demonstrated and discussed during the presentation. The attendees will be given materials in order to develop a token board or behavior contract (and will also develop a corresponding data collection tool) during the workshop. |
| Learning Objectives: This workshop has the following objectives:
1. At the conclusion of the workshop, the participant will be able to develop a token system in order to increase (a) habilitative behavior(s).
2. At the conclusion of the workshop, the participant will be able to develop a data collection system designed to measure the effectiveness of the token system they developed.
3. At the conclusion of the workshop the participant will be able to conduct and analyze a functional assessment in order to develop a corresponding BIP.
4. At the conclusion of the workshop, the participant will be able to develop a BIP in order to decrease (an) inappropriate target behavior(s) while simultaneously increasing (an) appropriate replacement behavior(s).
5. At the conclusion of the workshop, the participant will be able to develop a data collection system designed to measure the effectiveness of the behavior contract they developed. |
| Activities: During the workshop, the participant will develop a token system in order to increase (a) habilitative behavior(s), develop a data collection system designed to measure the effectiveness of the token system they developed, conduct and analyze a functional assessment in order to develop a corresponding BIP, develop a BIP in order to decrease (an) inappropriate target behavior(s) while simultaneously increasing (an) appropriate replacement behavior(s), and develop a data collection system designed to measure the effectiveness of the behavior contract they developed. |
| Audience: The target audience for this workshop would include teachers and other educational staff who are responsible for the development of token systems, assessing the function of behavior(s), and the development of corresponding BIPs. |
