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
