Assume you are working with a student who really likes McDonald's. When you are out in the community with this student and you drive past a McDonald's, the student always begins to whine about going to McDonald's. If you say, "No," the student begins to cry. If you still say, "No," the student begins to kick and scream and whack his head on the car window. Assume you want to break this inappropriate chain of behaviors by removing the initial SD and substituting an alternative SD. What would be one way of doing so?

avoid the routes that include a McDonald's and instead drive by Wendy's

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that one way of doing this would be to avoid the routes that include a McDonald's. Instead drive by an alternative SD such as Wendy's and when passing near the Wendy's ask the student if they would like to eat at Wendy's. This would recondition the child's inappropriate chain of behaviors and substitute a new one with Wendy's.
