English - Behavioral Assessment and Treatment via Telehealth: From Case Preparation to Discharge (Spanish slides) belongs in serious BCBA study because it shapes whether behavior-analytic decisions stay useful once they leave a clean training example and enter telehealth contacts and remote supervision, clinic sessions and day-to-day service delivery. In English - Behavioral Assessment and Treatment via Telehealth: From Case Preparation to Discharge (Spanish slides), for this course, the practical stakes show up in clinically sound remote service delivery, clearer caregiver support, and decisions grounded in observable interaction, not in abstract discussion alone.

Yet most behavior analysts encountered telehealth for the first time when the COVID-19 pandemic began, and many have since returned to in-vivo service delivery. In this presentation, we will take clinicians through the process of developing an effective telehealth service for children exhibiting severe and challenging behavior. We will discuss the benefits to families receiving telehealth services and the therapists providing them, as well as the limitations and challenges to delivering behavioral services via telehealth. Instructional Level: Basic Learning Objectives: 1. Participants will be able to describe benefits and limitations of using telehealth to deliver behavioral assessment and treatment 2. Participants will be able to describe practical strategies for overcoming the barriers when using telehealth as a service delivery modality 3. Participants will be able to describe the process for developing a telehealth service from case preparation through discharge
