Satiation<br />

Administering a large<br />

amount (i.e., frequency or<br />

number) of a reinforcer<br />

so that it loses its<br />

effectiveness.<br />

Description for Implementation<br />

o<br />

o<br />

Make certain that all staff who<br />

implements aversive<br />

interventions are thoroughly<br />

trained in the proper procedures.<br />

Staff should refer to specific LEA<br />

policy and procedures relating to<br />

the usage of satiation.<br />

Special<br />

Considerations<br />

If satiation is used with food, it<br />

must not be used to the extent<br />

that the student becomes<br />

physically ill. Satiation is often<br />

confused with negative<br />

practice over-correction.<br />

Negative practice overcorrection<br />

involves requiring<br />

the student to repeat the<br />

inappropriate behavior over<br />

and over again for an<br />

extended period of time. This<br />

is not a true satiation<br />

procedure.<br />

Students may become sick or<br />

nauseated with some edible<br />

substances.<br />

Data<br />

Sources<br />

Follow appropriate documentation<br />

procedures from specific LEA policy.<br />

These procedures may include a data<br />

collection system. For example, each<br />

time the intervention is used, the<br />

responsible staff member might record<br />

the following:<br />

o Date<br />

o Student name<br />

o Problem behavior<br />

o Antecedents<br />

o The student’s reaction<br />

o Length of time intervention was used<br />

o Initials of staff member<br />

Follow appropriate documentation<br />

procedures from specific LEA policy.<br />

Startle<br />

Use of a sudden and<br />

loud verbal statement<br />

or physical action to<br />

gain student’s attention.<br />

Make certain that all staff who<br />

implements aversive<br />

interventions are thoroughly<br />

trained in the proper procedures.<br />

Staff should refer to specific LEA<br />

policy and procedure relating to<br />

the usage of startle.<br />

This procedure may be viewed<br />

as abusive by an uninformed<br />

observer. Use judiciously, as<br />

these techniques interrupt<br />

instruction for the entire class.<br />

These procedures may include a data<br />

collection system. For example, each<br />

time the intervention is used, the<br />

responsible staff member might record<br />

the following:<br />

o Date<br />

o Student name<br />

o Problem behavior<br />

o Antecedents<br />

o The student’s reaction<br />

o Initials of staff member<br />
