How is NET typically conducted?

NET, or Natural Environment Teaching, is specifically designed to take place in the individual's natural environment. This approach emphasizes the importance of contextual learning, where skills are taught in settings that are familiar and relevant to the individual. By conducting NET in natural environments, such as the home or community, practitioners can ensure that the skills being taught are more likely to be generalized and applied effectively in real-life situations.

This method contrasts with settings like controlled classrooms or specialized therapy facilities, where the context might not reflect the everyday situations a person faces. In NET, the focus is on leveraging natural interactions and occurrences to teach, which enhances motivation and engagement, resulting in more meaningful and effective learning experiences.
