1.7 Setting for Discrete Trial Teaching
DTT typically occurs in a comfortable, secluded area (for example, a quiet room or cubicle) where there are few distractions. The teacher sits close to the student (within arm’s reach) and works one-on-one with them. The teacher may sit across from, next to, or diagonal to the learner, depending on their needs. DTT can also occur at a small table or on the floor.

One of DTT’s key strengths is its clear, predictable structure, which allows for precise measurement of the learner’s progress.
I can appreciate the variation of potential DTT implementation locations, with the importance placed on comfortability and less distractions.
