[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 24777, member: 393"] Shari, Reward systems have never been an incentive for either kt or wm. wm, especially, tends to manipulate the system - isn't able to internalize. It's all about the reward. husband called it wm's "icon" of the day - he'd earn a reward, it was important for a day & then it became garbage. We're slowly redirecting the reward system toward something less demanding; more healthy for wm. As wm craves attention from his caregivers while at the same time pushing away those he loves our tack is learning to spend time together. The only "rewards" earned are in day treatment. At therapeutic home, it's a push toward approval, time spent together playing games, anything that pushes him to interact with another human being. Not sure if this answers your question or not.
