Step 2.1 Deliver the target stimulus and the cue

EXAMPLE

Charlie is learning how to complete a clean-up routine. Charlie’s mom would first move close to Charlie and either stand in front of him at eye level or touching his arm. Then she would focus his attention to "all finished with eating." Charlie's mom would then hand Charlie the place and say, "Time to clean-up."

Charlie's mom secured Charlie's attention by standing in front of him at eye level or touching his arm.

Target stimulus: Charlie is all finished with eating.

Cue: Charlie's mom hands Charlie the plate and says, “time to clean-up.”
