Abstract
-
A limited number of studies have investigated the effects of behavioral skills training (BST) to improve staff use of discrete trial teaching (DTT). BST was used to improve three staff's use of DTT interactions with four children with autism. In addition, the study examined the collateral effects of the training procedure on student performance for three of the children. A multiple baseline design across participants was used to assess the effects of the intervention on staff and student performance. Results indicated that all three staff demonstrated improved accuracy in their use of DTT following training sessions and during follow-up sessions. Student performance on presented tasks also improved following staff's improvement in implementation of DTT. This study extends the current literature by investigating the effects of BST on novel students, novel tasks, and on the effects of the procedure on student performance. Results are discussed in terms of efficacy of BST on improving staff performance and student performance.
