Discrete Trial Training and Autism Ranking:

Personal Accounts

This section provides details of personal accounts of the use of discrete trial training for autistic people.

Personal accounts can be useful sources of information about the intervention but are not as scientifically valid or reliable as research trials. This may be especially true where the accounts are published by an organisation which might gain a financial advantage from the take-up of the intervention.

Please note that the views expressed in these personal accounts do not necessarily represent our views. 

We have yet to identify any personal accounts which are specifically about the use of discrete trial training and autistic individuals. However we have identified numerous accounts of the use of ABA programmes which incorporate DTT.

These include accounts from the following websites

• Breakthrough Autism (Open in New Window) accessed on 29 February 2016

• Child Autism UK (Open in New Window) accessed on 29 February 2016
