What problem does it solve?

NET provides a framework to embed teaching opportunities within ongoing activities, routines, and play, increasing the functional use of skills in natural contexts.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Incidental Teaching: Create teachable moments by waiting for child-initiated interest and using those opportunities for instruction.
• Milieu Teaching Strategies: Apply model, mand-model, time delay, and incidental teaching to promote generalization.
• Environment Arrangement: Plan and manage materials and routines to foster motivation and opportunities for learning.
• Data Collection in NET: Use frequency counts, partial interval measures, and narrative notes to track progress across targets.
• NET+DTT Fusion: Start with NET to generalize skills after initial acquisition in structured formats and verify maintenance in natural settings.
