Abstract

Students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often display serious problem behavior that hinders educational and social progress. Educators in public schools are often untrained in the use of intensive evidence-based positive behavior technologies. This study describes the preliminary investigation of a coaching and consulting model for increasing staff’s ability within public schools to effectively reduce problem behavior in students with ASD. Public school practitioners who were enrolled in the Customized Behavior Application Training (CBAT) program during the 2020–2021 academic school year completed a survey regarding the social validity of the CBAT model and its impact on problem behavior in students with ASD. Initial findings indicate positive receptivity of CBAT as a useful training for helping school staff more confidently and independently address problem behavior in students with ASD in classroom settings.

公立学校自闭症谱系障碍学生积极行为技术培训模式的初步研究

患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的学生经常表现出严重的问题行为，阻碍了教育和社会的进步。公立学校的教育工作者通常没有接受过使用强化循证积极行为技术的培训。本研究描述了一种指导和咨询模式的初步调查，该模式旨在提高公立学校员工的能力，从而有效地减少自闭症学生的问题行为。在2020-2021学年，参加定制行为应用培训(CBAT)项目的公立学校从业者完成了一项关于CBAT模型的社会效度及其对ASD学生问题行为影响的调查。初步研究结果表明，作为一种有用的培训，CBAT可以帮助学校工作人员更自信、更独立地在课堂上处理ASD学生的问题行为，这是一种积极的接受性培训。
