• Evidence-Based Comprehensive Treatments for Early Autism (2008, background): “If didactic, massed trial, adult-directed one-on-one teaching is used, it is not recommended as the only teaching approach to be used (Smith, 2001).”
• Social Story Interventions for Young Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders (2003, methodology): “For 1.5 years prior to the study, and during the study, Andrew received home-based, one-on-one discrete trial instruction within an applied behavior analytic intervention model for approximately 30 hours per week (Smith, 2001).”
• Errorless Learning: Review and Practical Application for Teaching Children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders. (2007, neutral): “If error responses in some children can have untoward effects, this might be exacerbated in children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) given their rigid adherence to rules, difficulty shifting behavioral repertoires, and learning superstitious behavioral chains (Green, 1996; Smith, 2001; ”
• Caregiver Responsiveness and Social Interaction Behaviors of Young Children With Autism (2008, background): “Discrete trial training is especially important for the rapid acquisition of new skills in young children with autism (Lovaas, 1981; McEachin, Smith, & Lovaas, 1993; Smith, 2001).”
• Facilitating Social Initiations of Preschoolers With Autism Spectrum Disorders Using Video Self-Modeling (2011, background): “Controversy surrounds many forms of intervention due to the obtrusiveness of intervention such as discrete trial training with younger children with ASD (Smith, 2001) or the lack of, or conflicting, supporting evidence, as is the case of facilitated communication (Mostert, 2001).”
