Jack has oppositional defiant disorder and ADHD. A behavior intervention plan was created for him that included a break card to give him a brief break from tasks, as well as a strike system where he would get think time after 3 strikes. The plan aimed to increase his listening to directions and task completion. However, the break card was never effectively used or reinforced. Adjustments that could improve the plan include changing rewards, having higher expectations for rewards, more immediate rewards, and adding negative consequences.
