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 HomeworkIt 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!Visit the link to learn more. #biasbehavioral #behaviormanagement #positivereinforcement #punchcards #specialeducationteacher #tipsforparents ...

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. #biasbehavioral #functionalcommunication #flipthescript#specialeducation #SPED #spedteacher #specialed #behavioranalysis #behavior #behavioriscommunication #bcba #aba #RBT #schoolcounselors #schoolpsychologist #schoolslp #behaviorspecialist #BehaviorSupport #behaviorchange #behaviormanagement #classroommanagement #weteachsped #iteach #iteachsped ...
