Tolerance skills are taught to increase flexibility when things don't go our way or the unexpected happens. For example someone may have a strong drive towards certain objects or activities, making accepting ''no'' much difficult. ABA providers work on desensitizing unpleasant events and teaching:

• Accept ''denials'' (e.g.,  ''no'') with alternatives

• Accept ''delays'' (e.g., ''wait'')

• Accept '' transitions'', ''routine changes'' and ''corrections''

• Stay on-task in increments of time

• Follow directions on command (e.g., stop, sit up, come here, high five, clap hands, go to take shower)
