Behavior analysts play an important role in supporting the behavior and learning of young children with disabilities in natural settings. However, there is very little research related specifically to developing the skills and competencies needed by pre-service behavior analysts. This study examined the effects of "bug-in-ear" (BIE) coaching on pre-service behavior analysts' implementation of functional communication training with pre-school children with autism in their classrooms. BIE coaching was associated with increases in the rate of functional communication training trials each intern initiated per session and in the fidelity with which interns implemented functional communication training. Adults created more intentional opportunities for children to communicate, and adults provided more systematic instruction around those opportunities.
行为分析师在支持残疾幼儿在自然环境中的行为和学习方面发挥着重要作用。然而，专门针对培养职前行为分析师所需技能和能力的研究非常少。本研究考察了“耳内窃听器”（BIE）辅导对职前行为分析师在其课堂上对自闭症学龄前儿童实施功能性沟通训练的影响。BIE辅导与每位实习生每次课程发起的功能性沟通训练试验次数的增加以及实习生实施功能性沟通训练的保真度的提高有关。成年人创造了更多让儿童进行沟通的有意机会，并且成年人围绕这些机会提供了更系统的指导。
