1. CONTRACT
The Behavioral Contract Technique can provide great benefits to fathers,
mothers, teachers, tutors or people in charge who intend to promote the
change of those behaviors that we want to modify. There are various types of
behavioral contracts, whether written or oral. Both pursue the exchange or
negotiation of a behavior identified and subsequently operationalized.
The importance of the contract technique is that it allows the child to formally
commit to working with the behavior voluntarily. This technique is of great
help with antagonistic and conflictive people.
Steps to consider when using contracts:

^ Identify and operationalize the behavior. Establish a functional analysis

of it.
{ Listen to the commitment on the part of the participants, whether the
child and/or young person, father, mother, teachers, tutor and/or person
in charge.
{ Investigate reinforcements that may be significant for the participant.
{ When drafting the contract, the language must be simple, clear, precise
and fair to all parties involved.
{ The participant must make the contract voluntarily, free of pressure, to
modify the operationalized behavior.

^ The contract must not contain words with legal technicalities. It should
not be written in a negative way.
{ Be honest in what we ask of the participant.

General considerations when implementing the use of the Contract:

1. Establish empathy with the child before using the contract technique.
2. Gather all the people who are directly and indirectly part of the conduct
negotiation to explain the process and the terms of the contract, with
the purpose of discussing the responsibility of each of the people.
3. Explain to people how the contract will be worked, according to the
needs of the participant.
4. Contract Disclosure:
a. Each of the parts contained in the contract is explained to the
participant.
b. Once discussed, the commitments that it will have during the
 process are established.
c. Discussion of what each party expects from the other.
d. Provide the child with several models of what a contract is, and
validate with the child that he or she understands the obligations
that it entails.
5. Listen with the child, the types of reinforcements that can be important
and significant. Make a list of the reinforcements that the child
mentions, in order to make a menu of reinforcements.
6. Explain to the child the negotiation of reinforcements, according to
compliance in terms of their behavior.
7. Establish evaluation processes.
8. Set the date on which the reinforcements will be delivered to the child.
9. Renegotiation of the contract date.
10. Complete the contract with the child.
11. Read the contract aloud.
12. Closing contract. Here the child will be verbally reinforced for
having agreed to work said contract.

The Evaluation Sheet must be completed when using the Contract and make
the necessary comments if relevant in each of the parts and sign the
Contract form to carry out all agreements.

2. TOKEN ECONOMY WITH RESPONSE TECHNIQUES
AND COST
In this system the child earns tokens or stickers every time he or she shows the
desired behavior or action. These tokens or stickers can be exchanged for prizes or
rewards based on agreements made previously. It is effective to use the Record of
Achievements that the student completes.
This technique can be modified by adding a response and cost system where the
child is “fined” for inappropriate behavior, but receives a reward for appropriate
behavior. This “fine” can be the loss of points, badges, stickers, etc. These
techniques in combination have contributed to reducing negative behavior in the
classroom.
_______________________ Malik will comply with what was agreed so that a record
is kept of the agreements fulfilled and that the child registers the tokens or stickers
to receive the agreed reward or reinforcement.

4. RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS TO BE COMPLETED BY THE
STUDENT
The Record of Achievements is a form that the child will fill out recording the
achievements obtained during the week. In this way, he himself details the
established agreements and writes the score obtained daily, which is broken
down as follows:

3 = I did it
2 – I tried
1 – I must make an effort
0 – I did not respect what was agreed
By keeping the record daily, the child will be more aware of the achievements
obtained as well as the days that he did not respect the agreement, tried to do
so, or that he must work harder to achieve.

sign of approval, a hug or a light squeeze. Also a badge or privilege. These cost
nothing and when done with
_______________________ It will provide enormous satisfaction.

6. TECHNIQUES FOR ADVANCE AGREEMENTS WITH THE CHILD

This technique is informed beforehand, to the student, that you will touch him on
the shoulder when you see him distracted or gently scratch his head when he is
very restless in the seat or distracted.
To present _________________________ symptoms of hyperactivity and
aggression Using this technique will be of great help, since it will allow the child
to maintain control and continue with his task to finish it.
Monitoring
The purpose of monitoring is to track changes in behavior of . It is important
to provide continuous monitoring
to hold meetings with the minor, and inform him of the progress he has made
and listen to his feelings regarding the Behavior Modification Plan.
Once behavior changes have been monitored or, instead, it has been confirmed
that no change has occurred, the Modification Plan must be reviewed in the
following aspects:

V Verify if the selected techniques are appropriate.

V Interview the minor to listen to his feelings regarding how he feels about
carrying out the Plan or if he has changed his mind about not carrying it
out.
V Check if the child has been pressured to accept the conditions of the Plan.
If this is the case, the Plan must be put aside and a new Plan must be
drafted as a team.
V Hold meetings with the homeroom teacher to evaluate how the plan has
been carried out, whether it has been consistent or not.
V Seek professional help if the behavior persists and no change occurs in
the minor and if other unexpected behaviors occur.

No matter what findings are obtained, we must not forget that the main purpose
of this document is to help __________________________________ and?
This is the one who benefits from it. An effectively implemented plan will benefit
their academic progress and a radical improvement in their behaviors.
