[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 568321, member: 11791"] The biggest problem with the reward system is that kids on the spectrum have an expecially hard time with "delayed gratification". I'm not saying they are like dogs, but in some ways, the concepts that work in dog training have merit (and success)... including the fact that when using rewards, they have to be literally instant. V is smarter than a pup, so you could try something like... using a tiny candy as the accumulator in the reward jar... and however many are accumulated, he gets to have. This way, he can "see" what reward he is getting, and each positive item he does has a positive impact on what he gets - but it's a direct one-to-one relationship. not some obscure concept. I've used miniature chocolate chips or mini-mints, for example. [/QUOTE]
