Hi Everyone,
I am new to these forums, so I'll start with a bit of background. I completed a Psychology degree in Sydney 3 years ago and have been working with children with autism as an ABA therapist for 5 years. Last year I got a chronic fatigue type illness and couldn't work with the kids so thought I would try and make myself useful at home and put a website together (www.token-rewards.com). It is about token economy systems which is one resource or tool which I found to be invaluable when working with the children with autism, mainly because I feel that motivation is of key importance. What can be learned without a motivation to learn? Anyway, I would be interested to hear any feedback you have or ideas of things I could include to improve on it, useful resources etc...
Thanks,
Jo
