In our January Journal Club presented by Dr. Hannah Macnaul, we will be exploring “Effects of an adapted telehealth training curriculum for registered behavior technicians”

Overview:

This groundbreaking study examines the effects of an adapted telehealth training curriculum tailored for Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) to provide caregiver coaching on behavior analytic interventions. By leveraging a non-concurrent multiple baseline design, the research demonstrates that RBTs can achieve mastery in telehealth-based caregiver coaching within three training sessions under Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) supervision. The study highlights the fidelity of the training model, showcasing its effectiveness even in sessions with new families, emphasizing its scalability and practical implications. This work not only addresses the urgent need for remote service delivery post-COVID-19 but also expands the capabilities of RBTs in meeting increasing consumer demands through telehealth. 

By emphasizing rigorous procedural fidelity, real-time coaching, and pyramidal training models, this study offers a replicable framework to bridge the gap between limited professional resources and the growing need for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services. With significant implications for broadening access to services, the findings support the utility of telehealth as a viable, efficient, and scalable modality in behavioral health interventions.
