Token Boards

Using Visual Token Boards to Track Progress and Boost Motivation

A token board is a proven ABA tool that turns goals into a tangible game: learners earn visual tokens for showing desired behaviors and trade them in for meaningful rewards. By clearly displaying expectations and progress, token economies increase motivation, build persistence, and make reinforcement schedules easy to manage across classrooms, clinics, and home routines.

Why use token economies?

• Higher on-task behavior and engagement. Meta-analyses show token systems reliably elevate appropriate classroom behavior and participation across age groups and diagnoses.
• Immediate feedback that builds resilience. Visual tokens provide quick, concrete acknowledgment, helping learners tolerate delays until the final reward is earned.
• Adaptable and fadeable. Token requirements can be increased gradually, then phased out, promoting long-term independence without creating reward dependence.
