An Introduction to Reinforcement

Welcome to a basic tips video brought to you by Aptus Treatment Centre. In this video we’re going to look at the term reinforcement and how reinforcement can have a huge impact on behaviour.

This video will follow 3 scenarios, namely a teacher and student, a single-parent veteran with PTSD and a homeless man with mental health concerns, throughout a discovery process on how to use reinforcement to modify their unwanted behaviours. These tips and tricks can be used in many different settings and we encourage you to share this video with anyone who might benefit from them. You can also find a like to our Basic Tips Guide for more detailed information and explanations here: Tips for Dealing with Challenging Behaviour

Aptus Treatment Centre, an agency in Ontario supporting people who have developmental disabilities, has prepared this series of bilingual resources to support children, youth and adults in managing difficult behaviours. All videos are available in English and French. These videos are provided with funding from the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services.
