Access to clinically recommended applied behavior analysis (ABA) services has been significantly impacted for many consumers in light of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Local shelter-in-place orders and safety concerns have resulted in a movement toward telepractice models across educational and medically necessary ABA services, including at the level of the behavior technician. With this novel mode of technician-level intervention, practitioners have faced many learner, caregiver, and setting variables that have served as barriers to accessing telepractice intervention. Given the novelty of and limited empirical investigations on technician-level telepractice, solutions for common barriers are urgently needed. The current discussion article, therefore, describes the necessity of evaluating the efficacy of telepractice at the level of the technician, puts forth the position that telepractice should be considered a safeguard to accessing ABA intervention given evolving crises such as the pandemic, and provides a detailed description of employed training models and materials, problem-resolution strategies aimed at overcoming specific barriers, and initial outcomes across educational and medically necessary intervention models with the intent to support practitioners in identifying and overcoming barriers such that consumers can access needed intervention.

鉴于全球 COVID-19 大流行，许多消费者获得临床推荐的应用行为分析 (ABA) 服务受到了重大影响。当地的就地避难令和安全问题导致了跨教育和医疗必要的 ABA 服务（包括行为技术人员级别）的远程实践模型的发展。借助这种技术人员级别干预的新模式，从业者面临着许多学习者、护理人员和设置变量，这些变量已成为访问远程实践干预的障碍。鉴于对技术人员远程实践的新颖性和有限的实证研究，迫切需要针对常见障碍的解决方案。因此，当前的讨论文章描述了在技术人员层面评估远程练习效果的必要性，
