Distance Delivery of Function-Based Skill Training for Providers in Rural Settings
Hodges, Abby; Joseph, Jaclyn D.; Strain, Phillip S.
Rural Special Education Quarterly, v41 n1 p3-11 Mar 2022
Children with diagnosed disabilities, teachers and classroom staff, and families living in rural areas have difficulty accessing any and all behavioral services, including parent training, due to a lack of providers, distance to clinics, cost of transportation, low income and/or inadequate health insurance, and confidentiality concerns from living in small communities. In this study, Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) was used to train early childhood professionals on how to implement Prevent--Teach--Reinforce for Young Children, which is a step-by-step manualized approach to the assessment and treatment of challenging behavior that reflects a commitment to evidence-based practice. Results of the pilot study, study limitations, and future directions are discussed.
