Frequency
Reinforcement should be provided ________ the behavior.
Replacement behaviors need to serve the same ______ as the target behavior.

4:1
This replacement behavior teaches a replacement phrase for the problem behavior
Functional Communication Training (FCT)
Taylor gets a bad grade on her test. As a result, her mom tells her she can't go to the school dance that night. Taylor doesn't get any bad grades in the future.
Negative Punishment

Whole Interval
This type of reinforcement system requires a student to reflect on their own behavior and score themselves based on their own performance.
Self-Monitoring
This could be a potential FCT phrase for a student who engages in elopement to escape work.
"I need a break"

Functional Communication Training uses this type of reinforcement system to teach replacement/alternative phrases.
Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA)
This could be a replacement behavior for a student who puts items in their mouth for sensory needs
