Great way to work with pediatric clients to help them understand good vs. bad behaviors

You could use this theory when working with children. Instead of telling them “no”, one could use this conditioning to help them understand the kind of behavior expected of them

You could give someone a reward when they do something in the intervention. You could also use it when they use good behaviors.
Theories, paradigms, models, etc., are ways to categorize ideas and helpful in structuring OT.

If in peds, positive reinforcement could be beneficial if a client reaches a goal.

Theory, FoR, paradigms are needed to give evidence to our practice and a way to look back on why we do what we do.

Motivation

# data[].attributes.body
I think this comes it to play in a lot of subtle ways. FOR instance, just having a positive attitude toward clients and letting them see how happy you are to be with them will stand as positive reinforcement for coming to therapy. Being present and engaged in return when clients show up prepared and eager to participate.

I definitely could see this within pediatric OT.  For example, letting them choose their favorite toy when engaging in play or having a big bucket of small toys that they get to choose from as they leave for the day if they behave properly.  If they don't behave properly, the OT could choose the therapeutic tools and you could also not give a toy as a reward at the end of the day

Operant conditioning works well when dealing with behavioral problems...you can reward practices you want to see again, such as appropriate behavior or trying to perform well in therapy. And you can also decrease bad behaviors by taking away things they like, such as not letting a kid play with a favorite toy during therapy, etc.

It makes me think more of pediatrics- when a client is not compliant or just not feeling therapy that day, a way to encourage them to do the activity is to reward them and hopefully give them a more positive view of therapy. Just like at the office I work at, if the client has a good day, then they get to pick a prize out after the session is over.

When positive reinforcers are given the individual is more likely to continue with the correct behavior.
