Naturalistic Developmental Behavior Interventions, or "NDBI's", bring proven strategies into real-life moments—home, school, and community. By blending developmental goals with evidence-based behavioral techniques, they help children build communication, social engagement, and independent learning in natural contexts.
Key ideas:
Follow the child’s interests to teach new skills
Learn through play, routines, and everyday activities
Coach families to implement strategies across settings
If you’re exploring supports for a child with autism, consider NDBIs as a collaborative, family-centered option. Questions to ask providers: How do you integrate play and language? How do you measure progress in natural settings? How can families receive coaching and support?
