These materials empowered us to model and implement evidence-based practices aligned with Progressive ABA, such as Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT), effective reinforcement strategies, prompting techniques, and functional communication training. The availability of high-quality reinforcers allowed trainees, both teachers and aides, to witness firsthand how motivation drives engagement and learning. This real-world application helped bridge the gap between theory and practice, leading to more confident, competent educators. As a result, classrooms became more structured, student progress accelerated, and staff demonstrated higher fidelity in implementation.
