School token economy systems are being employed with a variety of children in a variety of settings. Although their utility has been proven, additional benefits accrue when home‐school token systems are used. These benefits are discussed, as well as the steps necessary towards implementation of these systems. Two case studies of elementary children are shared as practical examples of implementing home‐school token economy systems.
