Helpful ABA Strategies to Implement in the Home
First-Then Strategy, also known as the Premack Principle or Grandma's Law.
This strategy will assist with getting your children to complete a task. Parents use the Premack principle when they ask children to eat their dinner (low probability behavior) before eating dessert (high probability behavior). Over time, the child learns to eat dinner to gain access to the preferred behavior of eating dessert.
