Abstract
This article provides preliminary practice recommendations for telehealth direct applied behavior analysis (ABA) services for children with autism. In the face of COVID-19, there is an immediate need for discussion on how to implement various ABA procedures via telehealth for ABA practitioners. Alongside emerging scientific evidence on the effectiveness of telehealth direct service as well as various service-related guidelines, we provide preliminary practice recommendations that are based on the existing literature on in-person and telehealth ABA procedures. We also discuss these recommendations with case studies of two boys with autism. Social validity measures indicated that families were satisfied with telehealth direct services. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has resolved itself, telehealth direct ABA service will still be a valuable option for remote and international locations where direct ABA service is limited, and thus, practice recommendations continue to be relevant for all practitioners that use telehealth direct service.
本文提供了针对自闭症儿童的远程医疗直接应用行为分析 (ABA) 服务的初步实践建议。面对 COVID-19,ABA 从业人员迫切需要讨论如何通过远程医疗实施各种 ABA 程序。除了新出现的有关远程医疗直接服务有效性的科学证据以及各种服务相关指南外,我们还根据现有的有关面对面和远程医疗 ABA 程序的文献,提供了初步的实践建议。我们还结合两个自闭症男孩的案例研究对这些建议进行了讨论。社会有效性测量结果表明,家庭对远程医疗直接服务感到满意。即使在 COVID-19 大流行过后,远程保健直接 ABA 服务对于直接 ABA 服务有限的偏远地区和国际地区来说仍然是一个有价值的选择,因此,实践建议对所有使用远程保健直接服务的从业人员仍然具有相关性。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Behavioral Education is an international forum dedicated to publishing original research papers on the application of behavioral principles and technology to education. Education is defined broadly and the journal places no restriction on the types of participants involved in the reported studies--including by age, ability, or setting. Each quarterly issue presents empirical research investigating best-practices and innovative methods to address a wide range of educational targets and issues pertaining to the needs of diverse learners and to implementation. The Journal of Behavioral Education is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal whose target audience is educational researchers and practitioners including general and special education teachers, school psychologists, and other school personnel. Rigorous experimental designs, including single-subject with replication and group designs are considered for publication. An emphasis is placed on direct observation measures of the primary dependent variable in studies of educational issues, problems, and practices. Discussion articles and critical reviews also are published.
