differential-reinforcement

What problem does it solve?

Differential reinforcement procedures help clinicians increase functional behaviors and reduce problem behaviors by reinforcing targeted behaviors while withholding reinforcement for undesired ones.

Core Features & Use Cases

• DRA: Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior — reinforce a desirable alternative functionally equivalent to the problem behavior.
• DRI, DRO, DRL, DRH: Descriptions of each variant and when to use.
• Implementation & Fidelity: guidance on scheduling, extinction with reinforcement, and maintenance.
• Use Case: Example scenario across classroom and clinical settings to shape behavior and reduce problematic responses.

Quick Start

Implement a DRA plan that reinforces a desirable alternative behavior while withholding reinforcement for the problem behavior.
