Using telehealth technology to deliver parent training in evidence-based intervention has been suggested to increase the accessibility of such interventions and improve skill acquisition and generalization. Within behavior analysis, global restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for the development of telehealth supports for families. The current research examined the online delivery of a parent-mediated implementation of the Preschool Life Skills program (PLS). Four parents completed the parent PLS program with their typically developing children (aged 3-5 years) via weekly videoconferencing sessions. A multiple-probe experimental design was employed to assess the effect of the intervention on children's preschool life skills and challenging behavior. Parental embedding of PLS strategies during daily activities was also evaluated. The results demonstrated increases in children's preschool life skills, decreases in challenging behavior, and evidence of parent acquisition and use of PLS strategies.
利用远程医疗技术为父母提供循证干预培训，被认为可以提高这些干预措施的可及性，并改善技能的获得和泛化。在行为分析中，针对 COVID-19 大流行的全球限制凸显了为家庭开发远程医疗支持的必要性。本研究考察了通过每周视频会议为父母提供的学龄前生活技能计划（PLS）的家长介导实施的在线交付。四位家长通过每周的视频会议与他们发育正常的孩子（3-5 岁）一起完成了家长 PLS 计划。采用多探针实验设计来评估该干预对儿童学龄前生活技能和挑战性行为的影响。还评估了父母在日常活动中嵌入 PLS 策略的情况。结果表明，儿童的学龄前生活技能有所提高，挑战性行为有所减少，并且有证据表明父母获得并使用了 PLS 策略。
