Tap the token board to request a token
When to use this goal
For young students on a token system who wait passively or escalate when tokens are missed, and who can point to a picture. Fit depends on the reinforcement plan and communication present levels, not age.
- Baseline
- Withhold the token for a few seconds after a finished step on 10 planned steps and record whether the student asked, waited, or reacted with problem behavior. Make sure the student values the backup item.
- Tips
- Give the token right away when asked. This turns the token board into a communication tool. Fade the highlighted spot. A short delay now and then gives natural chances to ask.
- Limits
- Asking may become prompt-dependent if adults always pause; vary it. Not a fit for students who do not yet understand the token system.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, during table work with a token board on the table after finishing a step, the student will point to or tap the token board to ask for a token after finishing a step independently in at least 7 of 10 opportunities, on 3 consecutive data collection days, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected 10 finished steps per day.
Baseline: 1 of 10 opportunities.

- Record up to 10 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
