Abstract
Previous studies have shown the positive effects token economies can have on student behavior. The current project examined the implementation and effects on student behavior of creating a tier two behavior intervention system based on student preferences for reinforcers and using token economies in a general education first grade classroom. Based on the Assessment portion of the project, five students would benefit from a token economy behavior intervention system. The author collaborated with general education school personnel to design and implement a token economy for each of the students. Using the token economy with preferred reinforcers positively impacted four of the five students' behaviors.
