NET
*This* teaching strategy captures what a person wants (motivating operation--MO) to elicit behaviors in a natural setting.
Natural Environment Teaching (NET
or
Incidental Teaching (IT)
*This* is a learning plan that teaches and supports a learner to develop new skills that will lead them to more opportunities to be independent.
Skill Acquisition Plan
*This* is an evidence-based, highly structured instructional approach to teach skills to clients. Usually uses small, repeated steps.
Discrete Trial Training or DTT
A procedure that helps teach someone to tell the difference between one stimuli and other similar stimuli.
Discrimination Training
Supports, or supplemental stimuli that are intended to evoke a correct response.
Prompts
With NET teaching, it is more loosely structured and less intrusive so it can more easily be used in play. It also assists in teaching them to _____ skills so they can use them in different settings, with different people, and with different stimuli.
Generalize
*This* is missing from this procedural description of a skill acquisition plan:
Title
Presentation
Details
Response/R
Reinforcement/SR+/-
Error Correction/EC
Discriminative Stimulus/SD
True or False:
Discrete means intentionally unobtrusive, so running DTT targets means we will almost always work with natural opportunities to teach skills.
False: Discreet vs Discrete!
DTT=>Discrete means individually separate and distinct!
Katie has learned that pizza, apples, candy, and watermelon are all things that she can eat. This is called __ ____.
Stimulus Generalization (She can do one thing with a variety of stimuli).
*This* type of prompting acts on the response itself or prompting when the kiddo is giving a response. It includes Physical, Verbal, and Model.
Response Prompts
Rebecca's client has an NET program to teach them to say "Hi" to peers while at their session at the center. This target is helping her client learn ______ skills in a natural way.
Social
Mastery Criteria will always go off of *this* type of data from probing and initial assessments so there is a good starting place to create a program.
Baseline Data
MT5 stands for ____, while RR stands for ____.
Mass Trial 5; Random Rotation
Graham is looking at his dirty clothes pile in his bedroom. He has to clean them up before his mom gets home. He says, "hmmm, I can put them in the hamper, I can put them under the bed, I can hide them in my closet, or I could put them in the washing machine." This is called ___ _______.
Response Generalization (He can do multiple things when seeing one stimulus.)
Stimulus Prompts
True or False:
We can only use items specifically written in a target to use stimuli to run an NET target. Explain why.
False: Natural Environment Teaching lets us use anything in the environment that can help teach and provide opportunities for the client to learn!
Gavin was working with a client who had target to mand "open this". Gavin tries to run it but didn't like how the SD was worded, so he decided to give the SD, "I want to open this." Describe what the problem is with this scenario.
We should never modify a target or run it differently than written. (Plus, giving extra/extraneous information can be confusing to some kiddos)
*This* component of a DTT program is missing (Starting from SD and down):
SD
R
EC
The schedule of reinforcement or SR+/-
Hutch was learning about construction vehicles. At first, he would say "truck!" when he saw a construction vehicle, but then he learned about excavators, dump trucks, and skid steers. Since he can discriminate between the different types, he will only be reinforced for tacting excavator, dump truck, or skid steer, but not "truck" anymore.
Stimulus Discrimination (being reinforced for SD, not S-delta)
*This* is a prompting strategy that would use most-to-least prompting over time to help a kiddo learn to have joint attention to an object. For example, "Buddy, Look!" and the item is directly in front of their face to "Buddy, Look!" and the item is 2 feet away, etc.
Errorless Learning
Your client has a goal to be able to identify letters of the alphabet and the target is to be run as NET. What are some ways you could run this program when you're at a session at their house?
Ideas:
Use alphabet cookie cutters, draw on a whiteboard and have them erase the letter you call out, make letters with play dough, tape letters on items around the house and do a scavenger hunt...etc.
This is an example of ____:
By June, 2022, Adam will be able to type, in the correct position, 20 words per minute with no errors 80% of opportunities across 4 sessions and in 2 locations (home and school) with 2 different types of keyboards.
Baseline data: Adam types with one finger at a time and requires partial physical prompts to place hands in the correct position. He engages in maladaptive behavior 40% of opportunities when prompted to complete this task.
Mastery Criteria
Georgia had a program to work on learning shapes. She was very familiar with circles, squares, triangles and star shapes, and was working on rectangles and diamonds. Her BT would show her one shape at a time in no particular order and say, "What shape?" This program is a DTT/ ___.
Random Rotation
*This* type of discrimination training goes with the idea of differential reinforcement vs extinction. I'll be reinforced for singing the correct words to a song and not reinforced for messing them up.
Response Discrimination (getting reinforced for responding differently to 2 different stimuli)
Which prompting type is this:
Angela has a client who is learning to clap hands. She says the SD, "Clap hands" and the client did not move. She then said "Clap hands" and gave a gestural prompt. The client still did not respond, but did respond the last time when Angela gave a partial physical prompt after giving the SD.
