Teaching Strategies
This structured method of teaching uses trials with a clear beginning, middle, and end.
What is Discreet Trial Training (DTT)?
This is often used with a visual board and is exchanged for reinforcers.
What is a Token Board?
These are environmental cues added to increase the likelihood of a correct response.
What are Stimulus Prompts?
This broad term refers to the process of learning or improving a new ability.
What is Skill Acquisition?
This technique teaches individuals to take control of their own behavior through various strategies.
What is Self-Management?
This method involves breaking a skill into steps and teaching them in a specific sequence.
What is Chaining?
This tool helps learners track their own behaviors or responses over time.
What is self-monitoring?
This visual support helps learners follow steps, schedules, or expectations.
What is a Visual Aid?
This process focuses specifically on improving interactions with others.
What is Social Skill Acquisition?
This teaching format uses naturally occurring events and learner motivation to promote engagement.
What is Natural Environment Teaching (NET)?
This technique reduces the likelihood of errors by providing immediate and effective prompts.
What is errorless learning?
This device helps learners understand the passage of time and transition between tasks.
What is a timer?
These are events or conditions that temporarily alter the value of a reinforcer.
What is the Motivating Operation (MO)?
This strategy involves acting out scenarios to practice new behaviors or skills.
What is Role Play?
This system involves the individual keeping track of their own performance to increase awareness and independence.
What is Self-Monitoring?
This type of teaching occurs in the natural setting and capitalizes on naturally occurring opportunities.
What is Natural Environment Teaching (NET)?
This written agreement outlines behavior expectations and consequences for a student.
What is a Behavior Contract?
Changing what occurs before a behavior in order to influence that behavior is known as this.
What is Antecedent Manipulation?
This technique builds new behaviors by reinforcing successive approximations toward the target behavior.
What is Shaping?
This visual or written guide supports the learner in remembering and organizing tasks independently.
What is a Visual Aid?
This method involves teaching appropriate behaviors or skills by showing models.
What is modeling?
This type of reinforcement involves providing access to a preferred activity after a less preferred task.
What is the Premack Principle?
This strategy provides reinforcement only for specific behaviors while withholding it for others.
What is Differential Reinforcement?
This method teaches a replacement for problematic behavior that serves the same function.
What is Functional Communication Training (FCT)?
This intervention includes setting personal goals, monitoring progress, and reinforcing oneself.
What is Self-Managment?
