Naturalistic and Incidental Teaching
by Marjorie H. CharlopNaturalistic teaching strategies (NaTS) are evidence-based interventions, rooted in applied behavior analysis, that are carried out in loosely structured environments, such as play settings, home settings, or community settings, that are more akin to what occurs in the natural environment. They have similar philosophical approaches, similar treatment components, and thus similar treatment outcomes. NaTS are considered naturalistic not only because of the setting but also because of the manner of delivery. Behavior change agents often come from nontherapeutic environments, such as parents or teachers, or even peers and siblings. NaTS are well suited to teaching behaviors that tend to occur in the natural environment, such as those pertaining to communication and social skills. NaTS often utilize or mimic a typical daily setting.
