Natural Environment Teaching: Describing and Improving Play-Based Intervention matters because it changes what a BCBA notices when decisions have to hold up in adult services and community participation. In Natural Environment Teaching: Describing and Improving Play-Based Intervention, for this course, the practical stakes show up in skills that remain meaningful when school supports disappear and adult expectations change, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →Natural environment teaching (NET) refers to behavior analytic intervention that occurs in typical environments, or contrived environments that are representative of typical contexts. Research on NET is sparse (Sweeney-Walczak & Ledford, in preparation), and there is a lack of data on what types of intervention children receiving ABA services are exposed to in practice. This symposium is designed to describe the results of an internet-based survey designed to characterize the use of NET in practice for young autistic children and to describe a single case study designed to improve behavior technician's use of enriched learning context (ELC) strategies during child-led play. Implications for the continued improvement of effective and socially acceptable teaching strategies will be discussed.
