Description

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.

Journey to Independence

Community-based program designed to support families on waitlist

Being an RBT for me was extremely fun because where were you going to find a place where you can be completely silly without having to worry what people thought about you? This was the only job that made me feel like I could make a dramatic difference while being myself.

I also liked to be surrounded by people that had the same goals of wanting to help kids and the teamwork made the job much easier and more enjoyable.

Change and progress was the ultimate goal for our kiddos. The early intervention program was seriously only a miracle because I saw changes in the kiddos that from day one, you wouldn’t even recognize who they were.

Changes from being able to utter 3-4 words where they can only make a syllable from when they started, the behavior decreases in which kiddo that used to engage in 30-40 0 self-harm to only half, learning how to wait during games, table work where they use to swipe and drop to the floor if they had to.

My favorite was when the parents would tell us what amazing progress they were making at home. I used to tear up and felt for these parents so much because it was already difficult for them and now, they can trust and rely on ABA and the therapists knowing their goal was ours.
