Tokens such as stickers, coins, or play money can be earned for completing assignments, engaging in instruction, and for not talking during class. Howard can use these tokens to trade them in for special privileges or activities. It is important to individualize these rewards based on student preferences and interests (DuPaul, Weyandt, & Janusis, 2011). A response cost approach can also be implemented to take a token every time he gets out of his seat without permission (Schultz et al.,
