Client Preference

What Works: Finding the Good Stuff introduces RBTs and ABA professionals to practical, person-centered preference assessment. Learners explore the difference between preference and reinforcement and learn how to use pre-task choice, free-operant observation, single-stimulus, paired-choice, and multiple-stimulus assessments (MSW/MSWO) to identify what matters to a learner in the moment. The course emphasizes that preferences change and that assessment should remain flexible, respectful, and responsive to learner choice. Through practical examples and scenarios, participants learn to select an appropriate assessment method, collect useful data, avoid common pitfalls, and verify whether preferred items or activities actually function as reinforcers during teaching. The central takeaway: Ask. Observe. Measure. Verify. Preference assessments help us move beyond assumptions and build more meaningful learning experiences around what the learner values.

About This Course

This course was designed specifically for RBTs who are looking to improve their sessions and make their interventions more effective. I created this course because I've seen talented RBTs struggle to motivate their clients. You need to understand your client in order to change behavior. Discover what actually works. What Works: Finding the Good Stuff gives RBTs practical, person-centered strategies for identifying learner preferences, choosing the right preference assessment, and turning those results into more meaningful motivation and learning. Less guessing. More choice. Better teaching.
