Researchers have demonstrated the importance of training behavioral skills to staff members working with consumers with developmental disabilities. A training program that does not rely solely on consultants or administrators may benefit human services agencies that have limited resources to allocate to training. In the present study, the experimenters used a multiple-baseline-across-participants-experimental design to assess the effectiveness of a peer-to-peer staff-training program. The experimenters used instruction, modeling, practice, and feedback to teach habilitation specialists to train their co-workers to interact frequently and positively with adults with psychiatric disorders and developmental disabilities in a day habilitation setting. All trainees increased interactions and/or positive statements as a function of the training program.
研究人员已经证明了对与发育障碍消费者打交道的工作人员进行行为技能培训的重要性。一个不单纯依赖顾问或管理人员的培训项目可能会使那些用于培训的资源有限的人力服务机构受益。在本研究中，实验者采用多基线跨被试实验设计来评估同伴互助员工培训项目的有效性。实验者通过指导、示范、练习和反馈，教导 habilitation 专家培训他们的同事，以便在日间 habilitation 环境中与患有精神疾病和发育障碍的成年人进行频繁且积极的互动。所有受训者都因培训项目而增加了互动和/或积极表述。
