3. Describe and apply 2—3 strategies for conducting Natural Environment Teaching.

4. Determine 2-3 skills that can be readily taught in the natural environment.

This presentation focuses on the effective teaching of clients who are receiving behavior analytic therapy, thus ensuring that children are given more equal access to quality services in their service area. Additionally, the training will seek to explain the value of building rapport with a client in order to generalize teaching into other settings.

This presentation will encourage participants to “meet the client where they are" in terms of their current learning abilities, while seeking to teach skills that grow their current repertoire. Participants will be encouraged to interact with clients in a way that suits the client the best and leads to the greatest possible learning opportunities.
