Frequently Asked Questions

Discrete Trial Training (DTT) is a structured approach where skills are broken down into small steps and taught through repetitive trials in a controlled setting. Natural Environment Teaching (NET) involves teaching those same skills within the context of real-life activities and play. ABI utilizes a balanced blend of both: DTT helps master new skills quickly, while NET ensures the child can actually use those skills in the real world with different people and in different places. 

We take the matching process very seriously, as a strong bond between the child, their parent or guardians, and technician is essential for progress. We consider the child’s personality, the technician’s clinical experience, and the family’s schedule. We monitor these relationships closely to ensure the child feels comfortable and motivated, and we are always open to adjusting to ensure the best possible clinical fit.
