With health care funders' increasing approval of telehealth service as an emergency measure to provide continuity of care during the COVID-19 crisis, practicing behavior analysts have an unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate that essential, medically necessary behavior-analytic services can be provided via telehealth in a manner that maintains treatment integrity and produces meaningful client outcomes. This telehealth treatment selection guide was designed to assist practicing behavior analysts in determining an appropriate protocol for the delivery of 1:1 telehealth service (i.e., a behavior technician providing instruction directly to a client, with or without the assistance of the client's caregiver, through videoconferencing). This tool aims to help behavior analysts make thoughtful clinical decisions to maintain continuity of care for the vulnerable population with autism spectrum disorders, while adhering to safety measures that provide protection to society.
随着医疗保健资助者越来越多地批准将远程医疗服务作为在新冠疫情危机期间提供持续护理的紧急措施，执业行为分析师迎来了前所未有的机会，以证明重要的、医学上必要的行为分析服务可以通过远程医疗提供，且能保持治疗的完整性并产生有意义的客户治疗效果。本远程医疗治疗选择指南旨在帮助执业行为分析师确定提供一对一远程医疗服务（即行为技术员通过视频会议直接向客户提供指导，无论有无客户照顾者的协助）的合适方案。该工具旨在帮助行为分析师做出深思熟虑的临床决策，以维持对自闭症谱系障碍弱势群体的持续护理，同时遵守为社会提供保护的安全措施。
