Component evaluation of a computer based format for teaching discrete trial and backward chaining.

Four staff learned DTT and backward chaining through a short computer lesson.

The lesson had three parts: read the steps, watch a video model, then practice with feedback.

Researchers used a multiple-baseline design to see if scores jumped after the module.

Every adult hit 100 % accuracy on at least one skill right after the module.

Skills stayed strong six weeks later with no extra coaching.

The whole package took under two hours to finish.

Hillman et al. (2021) got the same jump in DTT fidelity, but used live coaching instead of a screen.

Jimenez-Gomez et al. (2019) also used a BST bundle and saw staff master naturalistic skills, showing the format works across teaching styles.

Blackman et al. (2023) warn that most BCBAs still lack supervisor training—this ready-made module fills that gap without needing a senior staff to watch.

You can plug this mini-module into orientation tomorrow. New hires watch, practice, and leave with verified mastery of two core ABA tactics. No extra staff time, no six-hour workshop, just a laptop and a data sheet.
