Particularly those Child with Special Needs, is extremely important for self-esteem as well as in changing behavior. Experience has shown me that punishment is rarely effective in changing behavior. With rising obesity rates, the need for rewards other than food is extremely important.

I teach Child with Special Needs, including autism, and have found that some of the most unusual rewards are the most effective.

Use talking on your cell phone as a reward. One of my students can talk but gets very nervous when I try to get him to talk to me directly. I had tried numerous ways to get him to talk but nothing worked. One day the students were playing with dolls and other housekeeping materials. In the box were several toy phones. This student had one in his hand so I picked one up also and we started to have a conversation.

All of the students wanted to talk to me on the cell phone and got the biggest kick out of hearing my voice on the phone. Many of them have articulation problems and all of them have expressive and receptive language deficits so in addition to being a good reward, it made a good lesson.

When the students did something really well I started calling them from the hallway. It was such an easy reward and it cost nothing because we have the same carrier. I was fortunate enough to have a telephone in my room but talking on it didn't have the same effect. I think it's because their parents had cell phones and they wanted to be like them.

Use pictures of the children as rewards. This school year I was fortunate enough to have a color laser printer and digital camera at my disposal. I discovered the student love taking pictures of themselves home. I discovered this by accident. I had some pictures left over from a project and they were so intrigued with them I started sending them home.

Find out what the child finds rewarding. It might not be what you think. Try to find out what the child finds rewarding. Talk to and observe the child. Do trials with multiple types of rewarding activities. Talk with parents, caregivers and former teachers. What you think a child will find rewarding and what she actually finds rewarding might be two different things.

Organization - A Child with Special Needs will mean that there are a lot of things that you have to remember and make sure they do on a regular basis. These things can include medications, medical treatments or even doctor appointments.

You also have the everyday normal life activities that you will have to ensure you can organize into your already busy schedule like homework, grocery shopping and even laundry.

Being organized will help you cut down on frustration, save time and ensure things get done.

Time for yourself - Your children are your life and need you to take care of them, but you will not be able to do that if you don't take care of yourself first. You have to find ways that you can use to help you relax so you can be the best parent possible.
