Description:
Behavior analysts and educators frequently use token economies to increase engagement and appropriate behavior, yet many systems fail due to poor design, inconsistent implementation, or an overreliance on punishment. This course reframes token economies as intentional reinforcement systems, grounded in applied behavior analysis and designed to bridge delays to meaningful reinforcement. Participants will learn how to design, implement, and evaluate token systems by defining target behaviors, selecting effective reinforcers, and addressing common breakdowns such as staff response effort and system drift. The course concludes with practical strategies for fading, generalization, and building sustainable systems that work across clinical, school, and home settings.

Description:
Educators and behavior analysts often experience exhaustion not from lack of skill, but from systems that rely on constant adult prompting, reflecting a breakdown in stimulus control rather than a lack of student ability. This session reframes self-management as a deliberately designed outcome, showing how control can be transferred from adult prompts to environmental cues and ultimately to the learner. Participants will learn five practical, classroom-ready procedures that build self-monitoring, rule-governed behavior, and contact with natural contingencies. The course also extends these principles to analyst self-management, emphasizing sustainable, values-aligned system design that promotes lasting independence for both learners and professionals.
