How to choose

Your child knows the skill but doesn’t stick with it? Start with a token board. Pick one small behavior, let your child choose the reward, and begin with 3 tokens so the reward comes quickly. You can make a simple board free with our Token Board tool, and our free guide How to use a token board at home walks through the six steps. The Token Economy System gives you the 3, 5, 7 and 10 token boards ready to print, so you can move up as your child earns the reward easily.
Teaching something with many steps, like washing hands, brushing teeth or making a sandwich? Use the task analysis data sheet. Write each step on its own row, and each day mark how much help your child needed. Day by day, the sheet shows which steps your child does alone and which still need help. A picture schedule for the same routine helps too: see printable visual schedules by routine.
Not sure what your child will work for? Find out before you choose a reward. The food preference assessment shows you how to offer foods one at a time and rank them by whether your child eats each one and how long they stay with it.
Planning social or communication goals? The checklists help you see where your child is today, skill by skill. They are made for the adult doing the assessment: an RBT or teacher working under a BCBA’s direction, or a parent working with a clinician. Share the results with your child’s team when you plan what to teach next.
