DTT

[Guest guest]

Here is some good that clarifies the difference between ABA and

Discrete Trial. Also, this teaches DTT. It is easy enough to start

now. Good Reading.

" While DTT is based upon principles of learning theory and has been

demonstrated to be an effective intervention methodology, it

represents only one of dozens of teaching strategies within the field

of ABA. "

" Treatment begins with two primary goals: teaching " learning

readiness " skills such as sitting in a chair and attending, and

decreasing behaviors that interfere with learning, such as

noncompliance, tantrums and aggression. In addition, the basic rules

of social interaction are established. Children are taught how to

learn from the environment through the introduction of clear stimulus-

response-reward cycles. "

" Children with autism often face many deficits and difficulties in

learning (Romancyzk in Maurice, 1996). Discrete-trial training can

help to compensate for these difficulties. "

" The primary difference among discrete trial training programs is

found in what they teach, rather than how they teach. "
