Contract Type FiledDecember 4th, 2015A behavior contract (or contingency contract), is a written agreement between at least two individuals in which one or both individuals agree to demonstrate certain behavior(s). Behavior contracts specify a contingent relation between the completion of a specified behavior and access to/delivery of, a specified reward for one or more parties (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007). There are three core components to most contracts: the behavior, the reward, and the recording sheet. In summation, the contract specifies the person(s) to perform the task(s), the scope and sequence of the task(s), and the circumstances (or criterion) for task completion.
