Over time, this encourages positive behavior change.<\/p><p>First, the therapist identifies a goal behavior. Each time the child uses the behavior or skill successfully, they get a reward. The reward is meaningful and specific to the child.<\/p><p>Examples of rewards include praise, a book or toy, watching a video, and access to the park, playground, or specific location.<\/p><p>Positive rewards encourage the child to continue using the skill. Over time this leads to meaningful behavior change. With continued practice, the child will be able to replace their inappropriate behavior.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26663d7
