naturalistic intervention

Naturalistic intervention is a therapy approach that encourages learning skills through everyday activities and interactions, making it more relevant and engaging. Instead of structured drills, it takes advantage of natural situations—like play or conversations—to help individuals develop communication, social, and other important skills. This method is tailored to each person's interests and environment, promoting meaningful learning that fits seamlessly into daily life. It’s often used with individuals with developmental challenges, such as autism, to support growth in a way that feels natural and motivating.
