Gym = Numbers

I made this work system to help a child transition into the gym. By using the "Gym Time" PEC = numbers he gets to choose the number he wants each time before transitioning into the gym. (The numbers are his reinforcer)

Door Reinforcement

One year I had a student who was reinforced by doors. He loved to open and close them. So I used the doors as a motivator. It was kind of like a game, he would have to earn 5 tokens to earn that door that was next in the line. His favorite door to earn was the green door. With children that have Autism you can always find a motive they will work for. Even if that motive might seem silly to you, it might be the world to that child.

Putting our thoughts in PARK and LISTEN with MATER

Last year I had a student who was a fan of Cars and Mater. He struggled to keep his thoughts and his voice off while in the classroom. So I wanted to come up with something that would turn off his thoughts slowly and something that he would enjoy using as he put his thoughts in park. When Mater was on the road cruising the student was allowed to share his thoughts and talk to his friends. As Mater is "pulling in" to the parking lot the student knows he is about to put his thoughts in park. When Mater is in the "parking lot" that means the student needs to stop talking and it is time to listen. This visual really helped my student. He loved physically putting Mater and his "thoughts in park."
