This article provides preliminary practice recommendations for telehealth direct applied behavior analysis (ABA) services for children with autism. In the face of COVID-19, there is an immediate need for discussion on how to implement various ABA procedures via telehealth for ABA practitioners. Alongside emerging scientific evidence on the effectiveness of telehealth direct service as well as various service-related guidelines, we provide preliminary practice recommendations that are based on the existing literature on in-person and telehealth ABA procedures. We also discuss these recommendations with case studies of two boys with autism. Social validity measures indicated that families were satisfied with telehealth direct services. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has resolved itself, telehealth direct ABA service will still be a valuable option for remote and international locations where direct ABA service is limited, and thus, practice recommendations continue to be relevant for all practitioners that use telehealth direct service.
本文为自闭症儿童的远程健康直接应用行为分析(ABA)服务提供了初步的实践建议。面对新冠疫情,迫切需要讨论如何通过远程健康为ABA从业者实施各种ABA程序。除了关于远程健康直接服务有效性的新科学证据以及各种与服务相关的指南外,我们还基于关于面对面和远程健康ABA程序的现有文献提供初步的实践建议。我们还通过两个自闭症男孩的案例研究来讨论这些建议。社会效度测量表明,家庭对远程健康直接服务感到满意。即使在新冠疫情结束后,远程健康直接ABA服务对于直接ABA服务有限的偏远地区和国际地区来说仍将是一个有价值的选择,因此,实践建议对所有使用远程健康直接服务的从业者仍然具有相关性。
