We utilize both of these evidence-based techniques to help your child develop essential skills, and while they share the same goal of progress, they differ primarily in how the learning environment is structured:
- Discrete Trial Training (DTT): This is a highly structured method where we break new skills down into small, manageable steps. Each “trial” has a clear beginning, middle, and end, using specific prompts and immediate positive reinforcement to teach skills in a systematic way. It is particularly effective for introducing new concepts in a focused environment.
- Natural Environment Teaching (NET): Also known as naturalistic teaching strategies, this approach embeds learning into your child’s everyday routines, such as playtime, mealtime, or community outings. It is child-led and focuses on teaching skills in the contexts where they naturally occur, which helps your child generalize those skills to the real world.
By combining these methods, we ensure your child benefits from both the focus of structured learning and the flexibility of real-world practice. Whether we are using DTT for a new task or incidental teaching during a favorite game, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) tailor the approach to match your child’s unique strengths.
Results may vary based on individual patient circumstances. Please consult with a healthcare professional for diagnosis or treatment advice.
