Behavioral skills training (BST) stands out among training methodologies in ABA for an unusual combination of qualities: it is theoretically grounded in basic learning principles, empirically validated across a wide range of applications and populations, operationally straightforward enough to be taught to practitioners at all experience levels, and consistently effective in conditions where other training approaches fail. For these reasons, the BACB has incorporated BST into the Supervisor Training Curriculum as a required methodology, and it forms the structural backbone of most evidence-based parent training programs the field uses.
