Our Intensive Behavioral Treatment/Discrete Trial Training (DTT) service is an ABA based program for the learners from age 2 to 22. SEEK Education addresses three areas within our Intensive Behavioral Treatment/DTT service: 1) Teaching functional skills, 2) Reducing challenging behaviors, and 3) Parent training. At SEEK Education, we create customized learning program for each individual based on the results of our thorough behavioral assessment as well as close collaboration with the parents/family members, other professionals and funding sources. All of the skills we teach are selected from each learner’s daily routine in order to foster maintenance and generalization of acquired skills. We strongly believe that teaching must be positive experience for our learners and their families, and we maintain the most effective and current teaching strategies in the field to achieve this goal.

DTT is one of many evidence-based teaching methodologies under the Applied Behavior Analysis. In this method, tasks are broken into small steps and targeted intensively both in the structured and natural environment. All skills acquired within the intensive teaching will be gradually combined together and systematically programmed for generalization so that the students will be able to use the skills in their daily, functional settings. SEEK Education takes special care in designing each one of our DTT program and the effective learning conditions for the individual.

Our defining goal is for the individual to ultimately learn skills from their natural environments and to reach his or her full potential. We seek to accomplish this by targeting fundamental learner’s skills such as functional communication guided by B.F. Skinner’s analysis of language (Verbal Behavior), joint attention, observational skills, imitation, following instructions, and social skills.
