Discrete Trial Training

  1. Behavioral treatment and normal educational and intellectual functioning in young autistic children
    This is the watershed article reported by O. Ivar Lovaas that identified DTT as an effective treatment for Autism.
    Abstract: This article reports the results of behavior modification treatment for two groups of similarly constituted young autistic children.
  2. DTT and autism
    Abstract: For children with autism, DTT is especially useful for teaching new forms of behavior (e.g., speech sounds or motor movements that the child previously could not make) and new discriminations (e.g., responding correctly to different requests).  DTT can also be used to teach more advanced skills and manage disruptive behavior. 
  3. Improving discrete trial instruction by paraprofessionals
    Abstract: We evaluated an abbreviated performance feedback intervention as a training strategy to improve discrete trial instruction of children with autism by three paraprofessional staff (assistant teachers) at a specialized day school.

Morton Gernsbacher, parent of an autistic child, says:

” … research demonstrates that autistic traits are distributed into the non-autistic population; some people have more of them, some have fewer. History suggests that many individuals whom we would today diagnose as autistic - some severely so - contributed profoundly to our art, our math, our science, and our literature.“
