The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic increase in behavior analysts' use of telehealth services. Nonetheless, no research has evaluated the skills or training needed for therapists to provide these services effectively. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a curriculum for providing high-quality, parent-training telehealth services. Four in-service Board Certified Behavior Analysts® (BCBAs®) who received brief behavioral skills training on this curriculum reached 100% fidelity within four sessions. The skills generalized to a novel family and maintained nearly 1 year after the training. All participants rated the training as highly acceptable and effective. The independent ratings of 4 in-service BCBAs, blinded to the study conditions, also supported the social validity of the outcomes. This curriculum may be considered an initial step towards development of competency for interventionists providing ABA services via telehealth. Further research is warranted as demand for telehealth services continues to grow.

开发课程以培训行为分析师通过远程医疗提供服务

COVID-19 大流行导致行为分析师对远程医疗服务的使用急剧增加。尽管如此，没有研究评估治疗师有效提供这些服务所需的技能或培训。本研究的目的是开发和评估提供高质量的家长培训远程医疗服务的课程。四位在职董事会认证行为分析师® (BCBAs®) 接受了有关此课程的简短行为技能培训，在四次课程中达到了 100% 的保真度。该技能推广到一个新的家庭，并在培训后保持了近 1 年。所有参与者都认为培训是高度可接受和有效的。对研究条件不知情的 4 个在职 BCBA 的独立评级也支持了结果的社会效度。该课程可被视为通过远程医疗提供 ABA 服务的干预人员发展能力的第一步。随着对远程医疗服务的需求持续增长，有必要进行进一步的研究。
