Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA)
This is reinforcing a behavior
that meets the same function of the maladaptive behavior. For example, if the client is tantruming for attention you could reinforce asking to play a game. Both tantruming and asking to play a game will gain attention. If a client is running away to escape homework, you could reinforce asking for a break. Both running away and asking for a break will allow the client to escape the homework.
