Martha’s Rules for teaching a child with autism using TAGteach

Rule #1: Only ask my child to do what he is capable of doing.

Rule #2: Only ask my child to do something for the length of time that he is capable of doing it.

Rule #3: Monitor his emotional reactions carefully.

Rule #4: Mark and reinforce lavishly all good behaviors.

Rule #5: Give a treat every time I mark a behavior (regardless of whatever subsequent behavior is occurring)
