    The purpose of this structured interview is to get as much specific information as possible from the
    informant (e.g., teacher, parent, or caregiver) as to what they believe would be useful reinforcers for the
    student. Therefore, this survey asks about various categories of stimuli. After the informant has
    generated a list of preferred stimuli, ask additional probe questions to get more specific information on
    the student’s preferences and the stimulus conditions under which the object or activity is most
    preferred (e.g., What specific TV shows are his favorite? What does she do when she plays with a
    mirror? Does she prefer to do this alone or with another person?).

    We would like to get some information on _______________’s preferences for different items and
    activities.

    After completion of the survey, select all the stimuli which could be presented or withdrawn contingent
    on target behaviors during a session or classroom activity (e.g., a toy could be presented or withdrawn, a
    walk in the park could not). Write down all of the specific information about each selected stimulus on
    an index card (e.g., “Having an adult female read him the Three Little Pigs story”). Then have the
    informant select the top 16 stimuli and rank order them using the cards. Then list the ranked stimuli
    below.
