The number of Board Certified Behavior Analysts® (BCBA®s) available outside of the United States is significantly lower than the number of individuals with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) requiring services. Research on alternative delivery platforms, such as telehealth, to disseminate interventions to those in need is of paramount importance. The current study evaluated the effectiveness of training professionals working with individuals with ASD in behavior‐analytic procedures through telehealth. Four professional–child dyads took part. Data were collected on the professionals' treatment fidelity and number of independent steps performed by the children for 3 functional daily living skills. The study employed a multiple probe design across participants and included a cost analysis. All 4 professionals met the mastery criterion and all 4 children demonstrated increases in independence.

美国以外的经认证的行为分析师® (BCBA®) 的数量明显低于需要服务的诊断为自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的个人数量。研究远程医疗等替代交付平台以向有需要的人传播干预措施至关重要。当前的研究评估了通过远程医疗在行为分析程序中与 ASD 个人一起工作的培训专业人员的有效性。四个专业儿童二人组参加了。收集了有关专业人员的治疗保真度和儿童为 3 种功能性日常生活技能执行的独立步骤数量的数据。该研究在参与者之间采用了多探针设计，并包括成本分析。
