Discreet Trial Training (DTT):

Method involves separating tasks into simple elements and teaching the child through repetition.

Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS):

Developed by Andrew Bondy, Ph.D. and Lori Frost, M.S., SLP. PECS is an augmentative communication system which teaches children with autism to exchange a picture for a desired item. Then the child is given the desired item immediately. Thus, creating an environment for communication initiation.

Relational Developmental Intervention (RDI):

Based on the model of "Experience Sharing" by Steven Gutstein, Ph.D. This method derives from the way typical children become competent in the world of emotional relationships.
