Kevin is an 8-year-old who occasionally experiences acid reflux. In clinic sessions, one of his most preferred “reinforcers” is corn chips. Today, Kevin appears unmotivated to participate in therapy-his latency to respond is longer than usual, and he answers questions he has previously mastered incorrectly.
