LaVigna, Christian, and Willis (2005) reported on a project where Institute for Applied Behaviour Analysis (IABA) staff trained a professional team in New Zealand (NZ) to provide behavioural services that met defined criteria. The NZ team was then trained to train other practitioners to meet the same professional standards. However, no client outcomes were reported in that study.
This study replicates the NZ study within disability services in Tasmania, Australia. Further, this study examined the associated client outcomes and the impact of the training on severity ratings of subsequent referrals.
Tasmanian trainers trained participants to provide behavioural services that met the same professional standards. Client behavioural outcome data showed significant improvement. Referral data showed decreases in severity ratings.
The trainer of trainers process is effective in training staff to meet defined professional standards, including desired client outcomes, and to effectively make positive behaviour support accessible to a large number of people.
拉维尼亚、克里斯蒂安和威利斯（2005年）报告了一个项目，在该项目中，应用行为分析研究所（IABA）的工作人员培训了新西兰（NZ）的一个专业团队，以提供符合既定标准的行为服务。然后，该新西兰团队接受培训，以便培训其他从业者达到相同的专业标准。然而，该研究未报告客户的治疗结果。
本研究在澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚州的残疾服务机构内复制了新西兰的研究。此外，本研究还考察了相关的客户治疗结果以及培训对后续转介严重程度评级的影响。
塔斯马尼亚州的培训师培训参与者提供符合相同专业标准的行为服务。客户行为结果数据显示有显著改善。转介数据显示严重程度评级有所下降。
培训师培训流程在培训工作人员以达到既定专业标准（包括期望的客户治疗结果）以及有效地让大量人员获得积极行为支持方面是有效的。
