General CEU: Initial Findings from Formalizing a Telehealth Behavioral Parent Training Model in a Growing ABA Organization

Initial Findings from Formalizing a Telehealth Behavioral Parent Training Model in a Growing ABA Organization is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of telehealth contacts and remote supervision. 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.

Course Description

Disparities in health care access, specifically behavioral health, are magnified for families living in rural areas. According to Council of Autism Service Providers (CASP), telehealth represents a viable solution to address the rising need for Board Certified Behavior Analysts and can be utilized in underserved, low resource areas (e.g., rural communities) for parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Likewise, families receiving applied behavior analysis services from agencies primarily providing center-based care may struggle with confidence and maintaining therapeutic gains during transitions to community-based supports. This agency's initiative aims to extend findings as presented in Martin et al. (2023) by utilizing a telehealth behavioral parent training (BPT) model to parents living in the rural Midwest and for those transitioning from in-person ABA services. The feasibility of the BPT will be evaluated through the following components: effectiveness, procedural integrity, quality of life for participants, and social validity. Additionally, the utility of agencies adding this type of model to their service options will be reviewed. Please contact Paula Pompa-Craven at Paula.Pompa-Craven@essc.org should you have any APA questions or concerns!
