Punch cards are a fun twist on a sticker chart and can be used in many ways!![]()
![]()
Much like a loyalty card at your favorite coffee shop, punch cards are a great visual for Increasing desired behavior using positive reinforcement. Punch cards can be used across settings and are a convenient way to build skills and teach delayed reinforcement.![]()
![]()
And the best part is that punch cards can be used for more than just BEHAVIOR.![]()
![]()
Some examples include:![]()
✔ Academic Progress Monitoring![]()
↪ Task Repetition or Completion![]()
⚠ Behavior Support![]()
☺ Social Emotional Learning![]()
✏ Chores or Homework![]()
![]()
It is important to start with a small, easily achievable goal, which will ensure that the reward is earned quickly and will increase the overall value of the punch cards in the future. Therefore, when thinking about a goal (especially in the beginning), you want to make sure it is something that can be met AT LEAST ONCE (but maybe even several) times per day.![]()
![]()
If the goal is something that can only be met once, think about the individual steps it takes to get to that goal and assign each one a punch.![]()
![]()
Remember, just like with goal setting in your personal life, the harder the goal is to achieve, the bigger the reward should be at the end.![]()

Happy Punching!![]()

A few weeks ago, Amanda from @theprimarygal reached out to me, asking if I wanted to join her on an episode of her podcast.![]()
![]()
While I love talking about all things behavior, I was definitely nervous to record an unscripted conversation on this topic. Luckily Amanda knows how to ask all the right questions and by the end of the hour, I felt like we had been friends for years.![]()

Make sure you FOLLOW along, as she continues to interview a variety of professionals in the special education field. Her interviews tackle topics ranging from data collection to creating independent workstations and everything in between.![]()

I will link the Spotify episode in the comments below!
Have you tried to flip ↪ the script🗒 when talking about challenging behavior?![]()
![]()
Children engage in challenging behavior when they don't have a safer, faster, or more effective way to get their needs met.![]()
![]()
This can be hard to manage, especially when the behaviors are relatively minor in intensity but seem to occur ALL THE TIME. ![]()
![]()
Somewhere along the line, those behaviors are being reinforced, and by doing so, they remain a persistent part of that child's repertoire. ![]()
![]()
So, what is the solution?! ![]()
![]()
Start by FLIPPING THE SCRIPT. ![]()
![]()
Instead of solely focusing on the CHALLENGING BEHAVIOR, ask yourself what LAGGING SKILL the child needs to be TAUGHT to FUNCTIONALLY COMMUNICATE their wants and needs.![]()
![]()
Next time you find yourself in the middle of a behavioral episode, I encourage you to take a step back and LOOK/LISTEN to what the child is ACTUALLY trying to tell you. ![]()
