Criteria for Moving to Next Step

When Daniel can earn ipad time during
M/LA 3 days we will cut the ipad puzzle
into more pieces for him to earn and
slowly phase it out as his reinforcement.
Prompt Strategy
When the teacher asks a question Daniel
will raise his hand to respond. After a
wait time of 20 seconds a teacher will
give a verbal prompt to answer the
question.
Eventually the verbal prompts will
decrease and then the reinforcement will
be faded back to allow Daniel to answer

Generalization
Stimulus Factors: When in group
activities Daniel will participate
Response Factors: When a question is
asked Daniel will raise his hand

Special Considerations
Participating will be defined as: raising
hand to answer teacher initiated
question, standing and participating in
large group activities such as stretches
and instruments.
Daniel can earn ipad multiple times each
day.
The timer must be used for successful
transition when his time on the ipad is
finished.
He should receive ipad pieces for any
positive behavior or choices at any point
in the day, not limited to only large
group participation.
Daniel gets to put the pieces on his
puzzle and take them off himself so he
has ownership of the reward.
