Mastering the Premack Principle: Practical First-Then Reinforcement Strategies is a hands-on course designed for Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) who want reliable, respectful ways to increase participation, cooperation, and skill-building in daily routines. You will learn how to pair low-probability tasks (like hygiene, chores, or starting work) with high-probability, preferred activities to create clear First-Then contingencies that actually work in home, community, and workplace settings. Through step-by-step guidance, real-world examples, and quick practice activities, you’ll learn how to choose effective reinforcers, state directions professionally, and avoid common pitfalls like vague promises or delayed access. The course also shows you how to confirm real preferences, match Then activities to the situation, and use simple data to see if your plan is working. By the end, you’ll be able to design First-Then plans for transitions and challenging moments, adjust plans when needed, and document results in brief, objective notes. If you support people with diverse needs and want a practical strategy that respects choice, increases independence, and builds momentum for learning—this course gives you the tools to put the Premack Principle into action today.

            <p>Direct Support Professionals often navigate complex daily routines where balancing necessary tasks with an individual’s preferred activities is essential for fostering independence. The Premack Principle offers a structured, evidence-based approach to this balance by using high-probability behaviors—those an individual chooses to do frequently—to reinforce low-probability behaviors, which are tasks they are less likely to initiate on their own. By mastering the "First-Then" contingency, you can create clear, respectful, and predictable sequences that encourage skill-building and cooperation. This course breaks down the science of behavior into practical strategies for the home, community, and worksite, ensuring that every "First" task is followed by a meaningful "Then" reward that truly motivates the person you support.</p>

<p>Beyond simple sequencing, this training provides the tools to differentiate between genuine reinforcement and common pitfalls like bribery, ensuring your support remains professional and effective. You will learn how to identify individual-specific reinforcers through direct observation and choice-offering, rather than relying on assumptions about what someone might enjoy. The curriculum also covers how to apply these strategies during difficult transitions and challenging moments, providing a calm reset strategy when participation falters. By the end of this course, you will be equipped to design, implement, and measure the success of "First-Then" plans, using objective data to ensure your strategies are consistently improving the quality of life and daily participation for those in your care.</p>
