What are the similarities between DTT and AVB?
- Based on ABA
- Variety of settings
- Uses structured & incidental instructions
- Breaks complex skills into smaller units of behavior
- Data-based decision making
- Discrete trial format of task direction, response & consequence
What is the main focus of AVB compared to DTT?
AVB is language-focused with a functional approach while DTT is structure-focused.
How is data collection different between AVB and DTT?
- AVB: Less intensive data, probed 1-2x/day
- DTT: Every trial recorded as correct/incorrect
What is the role of pairing in AVB?

Generalization of behavior across stimuli and expanding language.
What are the guidelines for teaching NET?

- Have a clear plan and data
- Prevent killing motivation
- Vary lesson plan to avoid rote responses
What is the primary focus of Natural Environment Training (NET)?
Language development in natural settings.

- Covertization
What is the goal of the DI process?
To accelerate achievement in less time.
What is the purpose of ongoing assessments in DI?
To allow children to move groups based on their progress.
