We've discussed that discrete trial teaching is incredibly beneficial for our students with autism, but naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions are also very impactful for teaching students with autism. NDBIs allow students to practice skills in their natural, everyday environment, allowing them to generalize skills while initially developing these skills.

In this episode, I am diving into naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions. I am sharing what NDBIs are, the 3 key elements of NDBIs, and the benefits of this type of teaching. 

02:03 - What naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions are

07:11 - Why NDBI focuses on teaching what students encounter in their everyday life

10:15 - How naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions integrate teaching skills with the student's daily activities

17:02 - Why using functional reinforcers is key in NDBIs
