Abstract:

This presentation will review the research foundation, recent advances, and developing concerns with evidence-based staff training in human services. Initially, the basic criteria for quality training will be reviewed in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, and trainee acceptance. Next, a brief overview will be presented in terms of the research development of performance- and competency-based training with respect to the quality criteria, and how behavioral skills training (BST) subsequently evolved. Recent advances in BST will then be described with a focus on the efficiency of remote (telehealth) staff training approaches. Emerging concerns with various remote training approaches will likewise be described in regard to the overall level of demonstrated effectiveness within typical human service agencies.

Instruction Level: Intermediate
Target Audience:

BCBA's, Human Service Staff, Practitioners, and anyone else providing training and supervision.

Learning Objectives: As a result of attending this presentation, trainees will be able to: 1. Name the three most established features of high-quality staff training programs. 2. Identify the most apparent benefit of remote training approaches based on research to date. 3. Pinpoint one concern with recent research on BST provided remotely in regard to the ultimate criterion of effectiveness.
