Download the Paired Preference Assessment
A paired preference assessment is a way to determine what someone likes best by showing them two options at a time and seeing which one they pick. It teaches us what motivates the learner, and that helps us when teaching. This is important because using reinforcers that the person truly enjoys will motivate them to repeat those new skills we are teaching!
