Token Economy is a very powerful tool in accelerating progress for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and attention deficit disorder as well as typically developing children. It can motivate individuals to change their behav-ior and learn important skills in different settings such as special school, general education classroom, home, work envi-ronment and clinical settings.

How to use Token Economy?

Tokens are symbols (e.g. coins, points, scores, etc.), which are delivered immediately after a target response and are exchanged later for an item or activity of preference. Like money, you have to cash them in to get your desired items or activities. Effective use of Token Economies requires the following decisions:
1. Which behaviors will be rewarded with tokens?
2. How much of the behavior is required to earn a token?
3. What are the rewards available and how many tokens are required?
4. When will the opportunities for cashing in occur?
5. What will be used for tokens and how and where will the accounting be displayed?
6. Differential reinforcement should be built into the system so that better effort results in better reinforcement.
7. The tokens should be clearly displayed for the student to always see it.
