Discussion Prompt: Read the scenarios below. For each case, discuss how you would use positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement to increase the students' behaviors.

Scenario 1: Jagan has ADHD. He has difficulty sitting still during 20-minute whole-group instructional time. During this activity, he often loses focus and begins playing with items on his desk and humming, which almost always creates distractions for others who sit near him and often disrupts the entire class.

Scenario 2: Ashanti, who has high-functioning autism, performs well academically but struggles to work in small-group settings where she has to interact socially with her peers. Ashanti's teacher has worked hard to make sure the classroom is welcoming, respectful, and safe for all students. One of her goals for Ashanti this year is to increase Ashanti's social interactions and participation in small-group activities.
