Beginning Stages involve getting to know your child. It is critical to establish a warm, playful and reinforcing social relationship. To help accomplish this goal, the first month of therapy emphasizes identification and establishment of reinforcers, with much play and noncontingent delivery of reinforcers. Through creating a positive atmosphere, your child will be far more amenable to the teaching process and therefore proceed faster through therapy with fewer power struggles and disruptive behaviors. It is essential to determine your child's likes and dislikes as well as identifying his strengths and weaknesses. "Learning to learn" is also a critical component of the beginning stage. The child needs to learn that coopration with requests will result in immediate and frequent rewards. This further entails acquiring skills such as learning how to sit and attend, remaining on task in the teaching situation, being responsive to instruction, learning how to process feedback, and understanding cause and effect. This sets the stage for learning concepts and skills.
