The third step in applying the TAGteach approach is to reinforce the successful completion of the tag point.

• Reinforce a tagged behavior with something that the learner wants.

• The sound of the tag indicates success. Success is a very potent reinforcer for most people.

• Through its repeated association with success, the sound of the tag can become reinforcing in itself.

• Other reinforcers may include tokens, prizes, food, a chance to play, etc.
