Findings from a study examining the parent, family, and child well-being outcomes associated with different ways of conceptualizing natural learning environment practices are presented. One sample was asked to indicate the extent to which early intervention practitioners implemented their interventions in everyday family or community activities, and one sample was asked to indicate the extent to which everyday family or community activities were used as sources of child learning opportunities. Results showed that using everyday activities as sources of children's learning opportunities was associated with positive benefits, whereas practitioners' implementing interventions in everyday activities showed little or no positive benefits and in a number of analyses had negative consequences.
