Today we continue with part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Jeanne Donaldson. We will continue to discuss using token economies with children to help them establish positive behaviors. Today’s focus will be on the types of rewards/tokens that can be used, pricing strategies, selecting backups and using variety, troubleshooting common problems with token economies, implementing savings, and discussing taking away tokens as a form of punishment.
Dr. Jeanne Donaldson earned her Ph.D. in Psychology from the
University of Florida and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at
the John Hopkins University School of Medicine at the Kennedy
Krieger Institute. Her research focuses on solving issues common in
early childhood and assessing child and adult interventions.
Some key tokens mentioned include:
Passes/privileges
Tangible items
