Maryann’s skill in collecting and analyzing data reflects her unwavering commitment to evidence-based practices, enhancing the educational experiences and overall well-being of those in her care. She has an extensive and comprehensive understanding of Discrete Trial Instruction (DTI), a structured teaching approach often used in applied behavior analysis. Her expertise encompasses various components of DTI, including the systematic presentation of stimuli, the techniques for prompting and fading, and the data collection methods to assess progress. This depth of knowledge enables her to effectively design and implement individualized instructional strategies tailored to meet the unique needs of learners, particularly those with developmental disorders. Through her proficiency in DTI, she contributes to creating supportive and effective learning environments that promote skill acquisition and generalization."
