VIDBE-Q Volume 69 Issue 2 2. "First one free": learner plays with the reinforcer for a brief time (1 st trial + any time a new reinforcer is being used) 3. *CP reclaims the reinforcer and entices the learner by presenting the reinforcer (using auditory, olfactory, and/or tactile cues) with NO prompting and without saying the name of the item. 4. CP waits for learner to initiate "communication" by reaching for the reinforcer. 5. After the learner starts to reach for the reinforcer, the prompter immediately provides physical assistance to help the learner pick up the tangible symbol, extend the tangible symbol to the CP, and release the symbol into the CP's open hand. a. Prompting uses backward chaining. 6. CP gives the reinforcer to the learner immediately and provides meaningful social praise. 7. Any error (i.e., learner drops or throws the symbol, plays with the symbol for an extended period of time and never initiates the actual exchange) is corrected by backing up to the step immediately before the error occurred and the prompter prompts the learner through a successful exchange of the symbol.
