Problem:
Include some highlights from this article in the assignment above to better tailor the reinforcements to students with ADHD: Considering Rewards for Children with ADHD and Related Challenges Give rewards quickly and often when the child is learning a new behavior or skill. Give rewards in proportion to the child's effort. Over-praise may undermine motivation. Watch for the child's reaction to estimate their own perception of how much effort the skill or behavior required. Consider gradually reducing how often a child receives reinforcement once new behaviors are acquired. Pay careful attention to what happens to the child's behavior and motivation level if the reward is reduced. Slowly change the frequency or intensity of reinforcement to help the child deal with the frustration of not getting a reward and to help them persist. Consider the use of different reinforcements for different behaviors (for example, use differently colored tokens for different behaviors). This will increase the likelihood that the child connects the reinforcement to the appropriate behavior. Identify creative ways to maintain high rates of immediate reinforcement (such as using check marks, stickers, gestures and nods, verbal feedback, or feedback from peers). Provide rewards for effort rather than success to increase motivation for effort (for example, give feedback on how hard the child is working to get something right rather than just on how right they are getting it).
