The question of how to train clinicians effectively is inseparable from the question of what training actually produces: reliable, accurate implementation of behavior analytic procedures with diverse learners. Whitney Trapp's symposium addresses this question with two specific training technologies — video modeling with voice-over instructions and feedback for compassionate supervision skills, and asynchronous computer-based training for Direct Instruction components.

This symposium explores two training approaches: (1) video modeling with voice-over instructions and feedback to teach compassionate supervision skills and (2) asynchronous computer-based training to teach Direct Instruction components. Results suggest both methods improve clinician performance efficiently, with implications for enhancing supervision and instructional practices in autism intervention.
