Among those barriers for adolescents and adults is access to professionals who have expertise in assessment and intervention for complex communication needs, severe self-injurious behavior, and vocational training. Our team has been conducting behavioral assessments and intervention support via telehealth since 2015. In this presentation, we will highlight three cases that presented distinct challenges for remote assessment and treatment. For each, we will describe the challenge, how we overcame it via specific behavioral methods, technology, or both, and data depicting the resulting outcomes. Detailed description of the methodological and technological approaches will be provided and implications for practice will be discussed.
