Using a differential reinforcement procedure for the absence of problem behaviors would focus on reinforcing positive behaviors instead of punishing negative behaviors. This approach has been shown to be more effective in reducing problem behaviors over the long term. Additionally, using a high magnitude reinforcer as a reward can increase the client's motivation to exhibit the positive behavior.
