In regions such as India, where one-to-one behavior-analytic intervention is not easily accessible, parents and service providers may advocate for children with disabilities better if they have foundational training in behavioral approaches to problem behavior. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a culturally adapted training delivered in an underresourced region of India. Ten parents and professionals from Chennai completed the training, and the researchers evaluated its effects using a multiple-baseline design. Participants showed improvements in correct responses on a structured form designed to capture skills involved in function-based assessment and intervention, as well as the fidelity of implementation of extinction and functional communication training. Moreover, participants rated the acceptability of training highly on measures of social validity. Guidelines for the education of parents and service providers in underresourced areas outside of the United States are discussed.

评估针对印度家长和服务提供者的文化适应性培训计划的有效性和社会有效性


在印度等地区，一对一的行为分析干预并不容易获得，如果父母和服务提供者接受过针对问题行为的行为方法的基础培训，他们可能会更好地为残疾儿童辩护。本研究的目的是评估在印度资源贫乏地区提供的文化适应培训。来自钦奈的十名家长和专业人士完成了培训，研究人员使用多基线设计评估了其效果。参与者在结构化表格上的正确反应方面表现出了改进，该表格旨在捕捉基于功能的评估和干预所涉及的技能，以及实施消退和功能性沟通训练的保真度。此外，参与者对社会有效性衡量标准的培训可接受性给予了高度评价。讨论了美国以外资源贫乏地区的家长和服务提供者的教育准则。
