In my class, each student gets an hour of 1:1 work time everyday. *Depending on students’ skill level or attention, the number of Learn Units may vary- so do their goals or targeted skills. In the world of ABA, you may call this type of teaching procedure DTT or ITT.
DTT: Discrete Trial Training
ITT: Intensive Trial Training
However you call it, the bottom line is that this is a time where students get to work on their IEP goals(i.e., academics, listener skills and visual performance skills) in 1:1 setting. In order to promote the high level of maintenance and generalization, we try to create opportunities to practice these specific skills in different settings and with different people. This is where NET (Natural Environment Teaching) kicks in.
