Remote delivery of language and cognitive training is becoming increasingly prevalent within special education settings, and the recent COVID-19 pandemic has challenged many providers to pivot to telehealth models. This technical article outlines a procedure for developing computerized discrete-trial training programs using commonly available software, as well as a description of how to adapt this strategy to teach chained tasks remotely. Within this article, we describe how to establish unidirectional and bidirectional remote interfaces to work directly with learners. Finally, we conducted a field test of these approaches with programs adapted from two standardized curricula: PEAK and PRISM. We conclude the article by discussing barriers and potential solutions that we observed while field-testing these procedures within special education settings in response to the wide-scale emigration to remote teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

在特殊教育环境中,远程提供语言和认知训练正变得越来越普遍,最近的新冠疫情促使许多服务提供者转向远程医疗模式。这篇技术文章概述了使用常用软件开发计算机化离散试验训练程序的过程,以及如何调整该策略以远程教授连锁任务的描述。在本文中,我们描述了如何建立单向和双向远程接口以直接与学习者合作。最后,我们对从两个标准化课程(PEAK和PRISM)改编而来的程序进行了这些方法的现场测试。我们通过讨论在特殊教育环境中对这些程序进行现场测试时观察到的障碍和潜在解决方案来结束本文,这些测试是为了应对因新冠疫情而大规模转向远程教学的情况。
