Natural Environment Teaching (NET)

We take advantage of every opportunity we have to teach in the natural environment, whether it is interpersonal skills, social skills, play skills, or daily living skills. Even when your child is away from the learning table, they are still learning and growing. When your child is playing, we find ways to turn that play into a learning opportunity. For example, if your child is playing with a ball, we can teach everything from how to play with a ball with friends or alone, naming what you can do with a ball, and pointing out the characteristics of the ball.
