| These presentations explain the basics of reinforcement and punishment. Reinforcement is described as encouraging behaviors to happen more often by following them with something enjoyable. Punishment is explained as reducing behaviors by adding or removing something. Parents are shown examples of positive/negative reinforcement and punishment, with an emphasis on least restrictive strategies such as ignoring, natural consequences, or time-out. Practical guidance is provided on creating and using reinforcers to strengthen learning and independence. |
