Description
The purpose of this Bite is to introduce you to the ways that developmental and behavioral approaches are being integrated in early childhood education. Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBIs) are evidence-based approaches that combine principles of applied behavior analysis with developmental science to support social communication, play, and learning. They take place in everyday routines and natural environments, using child-directed activities and interests to increase motivation and engagement.
