Comparing Effects of In-Person and Remote Supervision on RBT Treatment Integrity & Child Behavior

Recorded June 14, 2022

Abstract

Though the COVID-19 pandemic has brought many challenges related to securing and maintaining access to applied behavior analysis (ABA) intervention for children with autism, it also brought forth an opportunity to evaluate changes in treatment and supervision modalities, the intensity of treatment, and overall access to intervention on outcomes.

For many ABA agencies, insurance-funded medically necessary ABA has changed in many ways since the onset of the pandemic and brought a need for effective supervision of programs. One way to meet the increased needs is in the form of Telehealth or remote supervision. This study examines the effects of in-person and remote supervision, determining that remote supervision is as effective as in-person supervision on RBT Integrity and child behavior.

Join Dr. Farley as she examines the overall effects of both in-person and remote supervision, identifies pre-Covid Telehealth research, identifies barriers related to ABA-based Telehealth, and pinpoints areas of need for future research.

Objectives:

• Identify pre-Covid telehealth research
• Identify barriers related to ABA-based telehealth services
• Compare in-person and remote supervision on RBT TI
• Compare in-person and remote supervision on child behavior
• Pinpoint areas of need for future telehealth research.
