Online Token Economy System

This online token economy system is no longer in use however its principles have been applied to features of Sentinel Gaming Systems computers designed to help treat videogame and other screen addiction. Both the Parent and Clinicians Guides have been placed here for educational purposes. Although this system is no longer commercially available, hopefully this can be a helpful resource for those interested in an online token economy.

What is a Token Economy?

A token economy is a program where points and/or money is used as a currency to purchase privileges within the home or school environment. The points/money are earned by meeting responsibilities and by behaving in desirable ways. Points/money are expended to “purchase” privileges and are lost when the child behaves in undesirable ways. This type of system has been widely used in managing a variety of behavioral problems including ADHD.
