Active support (AS) was developed to help staff organise and deliver practical support for meaningful client engagement in everyday activities. Both the amount and momentary effectiveness of staff support for client engagement have been found to increase following AS training. Training typically consists of a combination of workshops and onsite coaching sessions. To date, onsite training procedures have not been described or evaluated independently of AS workshops.
An onsite training procedure used in AS--interactive training (IT)--was evaluated independently of AS workshops through direct observation of staff and client behaviour. Staff views were canvassed via a questionnaire.
Following interactive training, staff assistance and client engagement increased. Staff views on the experience were positive.
Results from this preliminary study suggest that further research on the effectiveness of interactive training is warranted.
积极支持（AS）旨在帮助工作人员组织并提供切实支持，以使服务对象能够参与有意义的日常活动。研究发现，经过AS培训后，工作人员对服务对象参与活动的支持数量和即时效果均有所增加。培训通常包括研讨会和现场指导课程的组合。迄今为止，现场培训程序尚未独立于AS研讨会进行描述或评估。
通过直接观察工作人员和服务对象的行为，对在AS中使用的现场培训程序——互动培训（IT）——进行了独立于AS研讨会的评估。通过问卷调查征求了工作人员的意见。
经过互动培训后，工作人员的协助和服务对象的参与度有所提高。工作人员对该体验的评价是积极的。
这项初步研究的结果表明，有必要对互动培训的有效性进行进一步研究。
