Reinforcement Variety
Reinforcement Variety are the programs that provide learners with a greater depth and breath of reinforcers, as well as transitioning towards typical naturalistic reinforcers. Over time, a student will be taught to rely less on their narrow interests and/or self-stimulatory behaviors and be more likely to turn towards social or even self-perception (e.g. pride, being kind, etc.).
