| To better support John, the behavior analyst could recommend modifying his job placement to incorporate more social interaction, such as greeting customers or assisting with bagging. If that is not possible, staff could embed short, scheduled social breaks as reinforcement for on-task behavior. Additionally, using visual cues or a task checklist may help John stay focused during shelving tasks. A long-term solution might involve gradually shaping job responsibilities toward roles that align better with his interests in customer service.

| He needs to be better placed into a position that motivates him and provides him with learning opportunities systematically.
|
| This opportunity should capitalize on John's skillset and interests. He is clearly distracted by the customers because he wants a different type of opportunity to communicate with them.

| The behavior analyst can build a reinforcement plan where John earns brief, structured social breaks for completing stocking tasks. Teaching self-monitoring and using a visual task checklist can help John stay focused. The analyst can also explore future roles that involve customer interaction, using the current placement to build foundational skills. If appropriate, some customer-facing tasks (like helping bag or greet) could be added gradually to balance his interests with job expectations.

| Perhaps there is another job at the grocery store that would allow for more social interaction; vocational assessment to determine other job options
|
| Training multiple social skills
|
| Talking even in this job seems to be an issue. Provide training on how to continue on task despite Talking opportunities.
Work toward changing positions into something with more communication skills.
|
| Find a position that meets the client’s interest .
|
| Consider a self-monitoring strategy that would strengthen performance in less desired skill - stocking shelves. See if there is an opportunity to incorporate social interaction periodically / appropriately
|
| pick targets and teach discrete roles p
|
| Training regarding appropriate social interactions during work
|
| Interest in the position will help John perform better in the cashier role. The organization may consider if there are other roles if not stocking shelves that would allow John to utilize his strengths in customer service. Training on when and how to socialize appropriately in the workplace would also help.

| Use learner interest for functional skill adaptation

| On-task assessment.
|
| he is asking for a job with more social interaction
this needs to be embedded in the routine of his job
|
| |
| |
| I would recommend scheduling times where John is allowed/encouraged to interact w/ customers. Ex. bagging or helping them to their cars. And teach him that when he is stocking this is not the time to chat but at the other times it is encouraged as long as he can also do the task at hand.
