Guest guest Posted December 23, 2000 Report Share Posted December 23, 2000 Amy, The goal pf our wait program is that when presnted with a preferred activity, reinforcer, and the SD, the student will wait appropriately for the designated amount of time. The SD is " wait " or " you need to wait. " As child reaches for the item you may have to physically prompt the student to put his hands in his lap. Fade prompts quickly and in a systematic manner. Eventually, make sure you novel settings, people and materials. Start with 5 sec., then go to 8 sec., then to 12 etc. Then have them wait and do trials while they wait. Then have them wait and teach them how to find something to do while they wait. This is the abridged version if you have any questions you can email me at GBAShea@.... Also, Rhonda, thanks for the posts on reinforcement -- so crucial! Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
