Special Education Summer Institute 2025

This session is designed to equip educators with the tools and knowledge to effectively teach social, emotional, and behavioral skills that promote generalization and real-life application of skills. Often called ‘contriving situations’, Natural Environment Teaching (NET) provides a basic strategy for accelerating student learning by providing real-life situations for students to practice and generalize prosocial and self-regulation skills.
Participants should have taken the following prerequisite sessions: Instructional Control, Explicit Instruction: Teaching with Clarity Strategies for Social Emotional Behavioral Success. 
Participants must have a solid understanding of the three-term contingency (e.g., A-B-C’s of behavior), the SDI framework, and a basic understanding of reinforcement principles.
