The delivery of reinforcers is a research-based practice that can be used to increase student engagement within the classroom and promote skill acquisition. Reinforcers also play an integral role in the instructional planning of students with severe disabilities. Using reinforcement involves using preference assessment to identify potential reinforcers, then presenting these potential reinforcers as rewards. Given the importance of using reinforcers in instructional settings, this paper illustrates a three-step reinforcer identification framework for identifying individualized reinforcers for students with disabilities. The framework consists of using a preference inventory checklist, a choice-based assessment, and a reinforcer assessment.
