What is a Token Economy?

A token economy is a positive reinforcement system used in educational settings to encourage desired behaviors by rewarding children with tokens. These tokens can later be exchanged for preferred activities or items.

How Does a Token Economy Work?

• Children earn tokens by engaging in target behaviors, such as completing tasks, showing positive social interactions, or demonstrating self-regulation.
• Once they collect a set number of tokens, they can redeem them for rewards (also known as backup reinforcers).

Examples of Target Behaviors:

• Completing schoolwork (e.g., finishing a worksheet, spelling words correctly).
• Social interactions (e.g., greeting teachers, playing cooperatively).
• Behavioral goals (e.g., reducing aggression, following instructions).

Money is a Type of Token!

A token economy mimics real-world financial systems. Just like adults work to earn money and then spend it on things they want, children in a token economy earn tokens and exchange them for rewards. The tokens themselves are not the goal—it’s what they can buy that motivates the behavior!

Why Use a Token Economy?

✅ Immediate Positive Reinforcement – Encourages and strengthens desired behaviors.
✅ Consistency – Ensures structured and predictable reinforcement.
✅ Future Planning Skills – Helps children learn patience and delayed gratification.
