NET is a teaching approach used primarily in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) that focuses on teaching skills in the individuals natural settings - like at home, in the community, or during social interactions - rather than in a structed classroom or therapy setting. 

​

NET is designed to make learning

• Functional - directly useful in daily life

• Motivating - guided by the individuals interests

• Embedded - taught during real world activities instead of through drills.
