Abstract
Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) is a teaching method that involves fast-paced trials designed to teach basic skills by breaking them into smaller components, typically conducted in a one-on-one setting. Treatment integrity has proven to be of great importance in DTT, with skill acquisition occurring at higher rates when treatment integrity is high. While research has shown that verbal and written feedback are effective in training staff to conduct DTT, there is still a need for research on the use of individualized interventions based on performance assessments. This study used a multiple-probe across participants design, and demonstrated that a one-on-one session including interventions such as feedback, practice, treatment integrity checklists, and/or antecedent interventions is an effective method for increasing treatment integrity and implementation of DTT. The three participants that took part in the individualized interventions all displayed increases in proficiency of delivering DTT trials.
