Provision of positive/desirable consequences for behaviors or their absence that reduce the occurrence of an undesirable behavior. Reinforcement provided: a) when the learner is engaging in a specific desired behavior other than the inappropriate behavior (DRA), b) when the learner is engaging in a behavior that is physically impossible to do while exhibiting the inappropriate behavior (DRI), or c) when the learner is not engaging in the interfering behavior (DRO).

Goals:

• Define differential reinforcement and the 4 types of DR
• Identify the steps for implementing differential reinforcement
• Locate resources for training, implementation checklists, and data collection
