The MotivAider[R] is a small electronic device that can be set to vibrate at different times to remind people to manage their behavior. The MotivAider[R] can help keep students focused on a task, reduce "nagging" from a teacher, and eliminate the need for constant reminders to the student to stay engaged. This article includes several examples of how the MotivAider[R] can be effectively used in the classroom to manage both student and teacher behaviors. It also provides some common questions--and answers--that teachers have when using a MotivAider[R] in a self-management intervention. (Contains 2 figures and 2 tables.)
