Discrete Trial Training
Discrete Trial Training
DTT targets specific behaviors with an evidence-based, intensive skill-building technique
With the help of DTT, marked changes are happening for kids and families.
Olivia, age 3, is starting to point to pictures in a book.
Matthew, age 5, is cleaning up 5-6 toys during play time.
Taylor, age 9, is asking permission before leaving the house or classroom.

Discrete Trial Training improves behaviors one small step at a time. We systematically reinforce the right behaviors with rewards.
- The goal of DTT is to train your child for any specific targeted behavior. No matter what change you need to see, DTT can help.
- We’re in this together. DTT works best when you and your child’s therapist collaborate toward the same outcomes.
- Rewards can be anything your child enjoys: a treat, a toy, or the kind of extra-tight hugs your child loves.
- Once skills or behaviors are learned, we immediately help your child generalize the skill to real-life situations.
