  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!)
It seems that the skittles are working to keep the student on task. I think that the previous solutions are all good possibilities. Another option is to increase the amount of time that the student has to be on task before they earn the skittle. This can be done at an interval where the student is slowly working more and more to receive a skittle. It could reach the point where the student only receives one skittle per subject/ class period or even only one skittle a day as long as they continue to have better behavior.
