Discrete Trial Training (DTT) is a method of intervention for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Applications of DTT require prescribed repetitions of instruction. DTT is typically implemented via trained instructors or teachers. However, prior analysis has demonstrated the potential of parent-implemented DTT. Prior research demonstrated that DTT training can be implemented with a high degree of fidelity using a student teacher population. However, to date, no studies have evaluated the use of a DTT telehealth training with parents of children with ASD. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a remote parent training method to allow parents to implement DTT in home settings. To this end, three parent participants of children diagnosed with ASD were trained to implement DTT through a telehealth modality in a nonconcurrent multiple baseline design. Results suggested efficacy of this method at DTT skills acquisition.
离散试验训练（DTT）是一种针对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）个体的干预方法。DTT 的应用需要规定的重复教学。DTT 通常由经过培训的指导者或教师来实施。然而，之前的分析已经证明了家长实施 DTT 的潜力。先前的研究表明，使用学生教师群体可以高度保真地实施 DTT 培训。然而，迄今为止，尚无研究评估过使用 DTT 远程医疗培训对 ASD 儿童的父母。本研究的目的是评估远程家长培训方法的可行性，以使父母能够在家中实施 DTT。为此，通过远程医疗模式，对三名被诊断患有 ASD 的儿童的家长进行了培训，以在非同期多个基线设计中实施 DTT。结果表明，这种方法在 DTT 技能习得方面是有效的。
