Abstract

The trial-based functional analysis (TBFA) offers several advantages in natural settings, such as time efficiency and ecological validity. Previous studies have successfully trained or coached a variety of professionals and parents to conduct a TBFA utilizing in-person training procedures; however, no study has evaluated the effectiveness of telehealth coach or train others to implement a TBFA. Utilizing telehealth coaching, we coached three mothers of children with autism to conduct a TBFA in their home. The TBFA identified consequences maintaining challenging behavior for all three participants. Based on the results of the TBFA, we developed a functional communication training (FCT) intervention. Experimenters coached the mothers to implement the FCT intervention in their home. All interventions resulted in decreased challenging behavior and increased communication. The results suggest parents are capable of conducting a valid TBFA with telehealth coaching and support.

利用远程医疗指导家长实施基于试验的功能分析和治疗

基于试验的功能分析（TBFA）在自然环境中具有多种优势，如时间效率和生态有效性。以前的研究已经成功地培训或指导了各种专业人员和家长利用现场培训程序进行 TBFA；但是，还没有研究评估过远程医疗指导或培训他人实施 TBFA 的有效性。利用远程健康指导，我们指导了三位自闭症儿童的母亲在家中开展了 TBFA。TBFA 为所有三位参与者确定了维持挑战性行为的后果。根据 TBFA 的结果，我们制定了功能性沟通训练 (FCT) 干预方案。实验人员指导母亲们在家中实施功能性沟通训练干预。所有干预措施都减少了挑战行为，增加了交流。结果表明，在远程医疗辅导和支持下，家长有能力进行有效的 TBFA。

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.
