<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear List,</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your considerate replies and sorry for my delayed response. I watched all the videos and am especially grateful for the introduction of fluency and precision teaching. I have a question on the FIT/ABA use of reinforcers. In the FIT video they use tokens, points and stickers, but I wasn't sure what the tokens/points were eventually used for. Can anyone elucidate? What are good starting rules for a toy/video clip/etc reinforcer - how often to give, how long to give, how to take it back after the allotted time? </div><div><br></div><div>I should have been more clear in the body of the email. The student is a Japanese native speaker, and our school is mostly in Japanese. I am his English teacher and have a 30 minute private lesson with him once a week. It may be possible to get some time with him an extra couple days per week to make a program more effective. </div><div><br></div><div>I also read Temple Grandin's book <i>The Way I See It</i>, which advocates for ABA for language and the Son-Rise program for socialization. I picked up some interesting approaches from both (they are very different/in some cases opposite). I have had success in taking greater control of lessons by playing board games (teaching turn taking along with language) and offering choices (between 2 things I want him to do) and am looking forward to trying the more structured approach. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Chris</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Apr 29, 2023 at 6:09 AM Aimee Taylor <<a href="mailto:littlegreen@ymail.com" target="_blank">littlegreen@ymail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>
I recommend watching the whole thing but at 30:55 starts the language details of YouTube video below. Need language builder cards aka language builder: picture nouns. 30 minutes is very short time but you could fit at least 3 modules/sessions with good instructional control. You need some strong reinforcers if you can’t use food aka spinning light toy or small clips of favorite dvd/tv or mirror or swing or whatever the reinforcers is/are. Small interactions with reinforcers after running three fluency checks slowly delivering smaller or earned reinforcer after meeting fluency goals. See other resources on reinforcer delivery schemes. Start with colors since that is immediate success hopefully.<div><a href="https://youtu.be/zAq6POkSVRI" target="_blank">Strengthening Reading Comprehension Skills through Fluency Building of Core
