Token Card $5.00
Click Here for Product Details! Setting children up for success is so important; many children with an ASD need extra encouragement to have a go at new activities. Using tokens is a great visual system to reward children. Rewards are KEY to any successful teaching programme. Children with an ASD often do not have that natural desire to please like most children do. Nor do they see the point in doing something unless there is some form of motivation for THEM. As teachers/parents we need to be creative in motivating these children to work as they are unlikely to be motivated by the things that motivate other children. Some children do not like traditional rewards. For example I recently saw a teacher put a sticker on a little boy for great work, he spend the rest of the session trying to remove it from his top. Rewards need to be highly motivating to the individual child – using a child’s special interest is a fantastic reward. But remember special interests change, so too should your rewards! Rewards can wear out, so we need to change regularly and keep up the positives to keep up the motivation levels. It is just as important to fade the frequency of rewards. A great tool to do this is a token economy system. They work much like a typical ‘star chart’ that many of you would use for other children. Tokens are highly VISUAL for a child with an ASD. They can see exactly what they have achieved and how much more they need to get to earn their reward. When using a token system, target ONE behaviour at a time. This could be sitting on the mat, completing a task, good communication, etc. It is very important that the goal can be quickly achieved and the child can quickly see the tokens building to get the final reward.
