Describe token economy or use of rewards as a strategy for instruction of students with ADHD.

What will be an ideal response?


Token Economy: In a token system, you distribute to students physical tokens (e.g., stickers, poker chips, craft sticks) or points for appropriate behavior. The tokens can be redeemed for rewards that are "priced" based on their popularity. Rewards: Students were rewarded with points or tokens for performing the identified behaviors. They could then trade in their points or tokens for rewards. Over time, students had to display more correct behaviors for longer periods of time to earn rewards. Remember that if you use rewards, you should use them in combination with praise, and you should give them for behaviors that help students (e.g., completing work) instead of only for compliance (e.g., not getting out of their seats).
