The responsibility is on the clinician to develop programming that both captivates the attention of the individual and maintains the attention for future trials. Today's symposium looks at adjusting various features of programming to improve client attendance and performance. The first paper manipulates object salience through interaction to promote attending. The second paper increases response effort when responding to simple discriminative stimuli to prevent incorrect responding. The third paper utilizes a journal to take dictation as a way to increase attending toward relevant stimuli to promote conversational skills. By looking at factors that may limit a client's ability to attend toward relevant stimuli, clinicians are better able to develop successful programming.
