Backward chaining is a procedure in which the last part of the chain is taught first; in this case putting the pillow on the bed and brushing her teeth. Once the last response in the chain is consistently occurring, the next to last piece is taught, and the client performs last two parts of the chain occur together (Miltenberger, 2012). This training progresses backwards through all steps until the client has learned all the components in the chain and is able to perform them independently. Backward chaining has a natural reinforcer of being finished and allowed to go on to more enjoyable tasks; further in Annie's case, it will be met with a token for completion which will further reinforce the behavior and strengthen the token system already in
