What type of instruction is primarily provided during DTT sessions?

DTT, or Discrete Trial Training, primarily focuses on structured and systematic teaching methods that involve direct one-on-one instruction. This approach is designed to teach specific skills through a clear and consistent format: a commonly defined antecedent or instruction is presented to the learner, followed by a response from the learner, and then a consequence or reinforcement is given based on the correctness of the response.

Direct one-on-one instruction is effective in addressing the individual needs of learners, particularly those with autism, allowing for tailored teaching strategies that cater to their unique learning styles. This method enables instructors to provide immediate feedback, adjust prompts, and maintain a focused learning environment, which are all essential components in teaching individuals with autism.

In contrast, group discussions, interactive games, and peer modeling are not the primary focus of DTT, as they generally involve more social interaction and less structured learning opportunities. These alternatives do not capture the core principle of DTT, which is the individualized teaching of discrete skills in a highly controlled format.
