At that time research into staff-training procedures began (Reid & Whitman, 1983) and continues to this day. The need to effectively and successfully train support staff is critical for best client outcomes. This session will discuss the effects of Behavioral Skills Training and a competency/skill based training program on the skill acquisition and retention of those working in the direct service field. Using this program not only was increased skill acquisition and retention realized but additional unintended benefits as well.
