Description

Children with autism typically have difficulty communicating with others, lack some social skills, and perform unusual behaviors or rituals. Without effective treatment they are unlikely to be able to learn in traditional school or pre-school settings. Applied Behavior Analysis offers the most effective treatment for autism: Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention. It involves identifying children as early as possible, assessing the child’s learning needs, and setting up structured learning opportunities with clear instructions, fun and exciting consequences, and repeated practice until the child has learned the skill. These structured learning opportunities are called Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) sessions. One area of language that is often taught in DTT is listener responding, which is generally described as following verbal directions. Effective listener responding allows you to respond to people and things in the environment. Using a Behavioral Skills Training approach and extensive video modeling, this tutorial shows how to use DTT to teach listener responding skills to learners with autism or any special learning need.

History

This tutorial was initially developed by the authors in conjunction with FoxyLearning as part of Dr. Kaneen (Geiger) Smyer’s dissertation research at Auburn University. The content of this tutorial should be considered quite accurate, as it was written by three experts in the field of applied behavior analysis, all of whom are doctoral-level Board Certified Behavior Analysts with extensive experience. A commercial version was first released by FoxyLearning in May 2014. The tutorial is updated on an ongoing basis, with a significant update occurring in January 2020.

    The information provided within this activity was great. It was broken down in a very easy to follow and understandable way. There were a few times where I got wrong answers on videos because I missed a small movement from the learner, the teacher, or the clip just wen too fast. Some videos were also shaky when I pressed play which made them very difficult to follow but that may have been a technical issue on my end.
