The Goal Card Program is a school-home contingency program designed to improve specific behaviors at school with parent-applied rewards and consequences. The cards have proven successful with thousands of children in a clinical setting when used consistently by parents and teachers. Based on the concept that impulsive children require structure and positive reinforcement to maintain appropriate school behavior, the Goal Card Program offers a motivating opportunity for students to improve in school.
