Process
An overview for trained professionals; implementation depends on the treatment context.
- Describe the specific behaviour and its current consequences, avoiding global judgments about the person.
- Clarify the helpful behaviour to develop and small achievable approximations.
- Choose suitable, preferably natural reinforcers and make the agreement understandable.
- Respond clearly to effective behaviour and effort. Competence does not mean that further support is unnecessary.
- Check the observable effect: does the desired behaviour actually increase? Adapt the approach within professional treatment.
