  Case: Candy Incentives Issues
We have a student within an ESE classroom with behavioral issues. As an incentive to do the right thing, this student receives Skittles every time they are on task. This has been working for keeping the student on task. Other students see him getting candy and wonder why they are not getting any for doing the right thing. I do not want to embarrass the student that gets Skittles by explaining to the entire class that he is getting them for behavioral issues. Any advice on how to handle this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
From experience, try seeing if snacks would work with this student instead of skittles. If it works, now the whole class will be able to get the snack and not feel left out.

Comments: I would be cautious with this solution since snacks are a controversial reward in classrooms due to many students having allergies, an intolerance or strict diets.
