STEP 8: PROVIDE THE REWARDS WHEN EARNED

An important component of self-management is the presence of a reward. Although self-monitoring can be effective without incentives, goal-setting and student selection of reinforcement makes the intervention more motivating and increases the likelihood of positive reactive effects. Therefore, it is critically important that the agreed-upon incentives be provided when students have met their daily behavioral goal.

STEP 9: INCORPORATE THE PLAN INTO A SCHOOL–HOME COLLABORATION SCHEME

Parents play an essential role in developing and implementing behavior management plans for students with ASD. The self-recording sheet is sent home each day for their signature to ensure that the student receives positive reinforcement across settings. It is usually best to have a phone or personal conference with parents before beginning the intervention to explain the purpose of self-monitoring and how they can positively support the intervention at home (such as using their child’s special interest as a reward).
