I use the majority of these items in pull-out sessions where I teach the student to ask for what they want. At first, I reward them every time they ask, but then I start slowly increasing the demands. I start telling them "No" and teach them to say "okay," instead of engaging in a behavior. Then I increase the academic demands slowly. Once the student has the necessary skills, I coach the General Education teacher and student on how to run this intervention in the classroom. It has been highly successful at decreasing problem behavior within general education classrooms. Motivators are critical for success so that the student is motivated to ask for what they want and engage in this skill-building process. The task demands increase so much in my pull-out sessions that there comes the point where the student has to decide if they want to work for the items presented or if it is easier to go back to class and engage in problem behavior to get what they want; therefore, it is critical that the toys I use are motivating enough so that the student will stay and learn. Schools often have tight demands on budgets, so accessing toys that are motivating is very difficult. This would give me a toolbox of items to take into my schools to achieve this intervention. The items on this list will contribute to this intervention across 10-15 schools across our district and make a lasting impact on our district. Thank you for considering my project!
