Objective:

• Teachers will understand how reinforcement works in ABA and discover ways to use positive reinforcement techniques online.

Materials:

• Virtual reality system with reinforcement scenarios
• Brochures describing reinforcement methods
• Sheets to record reinforcement works

Activities:

Introduction to Booster (20 minutes):

• Talk about reinforcement in ABA, with a focus on positive reinforcement.
• Look at the different types of reinforcers and how to choose them based on what each person likes.

VR reinforcement (40 minutes):

• Teachers will use a virtual reality scenario to practice giving reinforcers.
• The VR system will show reinforcers such as virtual prizes, the opening of new levels, or praise that you can see or hear.
• Teachers will practice changing reinforcers to fit the learning profiles that occur on the screen.

Analysis of the effectiveness of the reinforcer (20 minutes):

• Use the datasheets to track the effectiveness of the reinforcer in the VR scenario.
• Talk about examining data to make smart decisions about the use of different reinforcers.

Evaluation:

• Teachers will turn in their fact sheets for review, demonstrating that they can track and study the effectiveness of the reinforcer.
• A quick test on the reinforcement, both the ideas behind it and how to use it.

Objective:

• Teachers will learn how to break down large tasks into smaller, easier steps using task analysis and practice modeling techniques in a virtual environment.

Materials:

• Virtual reality configuration with scenarios for task analysis
• Worksheets for task analysis
• Videos that show modeling methods

Activities:

Task Analysis Summary (20 minutes):

• Talk about what task analysis is and why it’s important in ABA.
• Look at examples of task analysis in different areas, such as job training or everyday skills.

Virtual reality task analysis (40 minutes):

• Teachers will practice breaking down a complex task in the VR world into smaller, more doable steps.
• Use checklists that you can interact with in VR to make sure each step is done correctly.

Modeling and shaping techniques (30 minutes):

• Talk about the modeling and shaping processes and how to reward small steps toward desired behavior.
• Practice training in the world of virtual reality by making tasks more difficult as learners improve.

Evaluation:

• Teachers turn in their assignment analysis worksheets for review.
• Virtual reality practical test in which teachers demonstrate that they can use modeling methods well.
