Campanaro, Alexandra M.; Vladescu, Jason C.; DeBar, Ruth M.; Deshais, Meghan A.; Manente, Christopher J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Behavioral skills training (BST) is considered one of the most effective staff training techniques to implement a wide variety of behavioral technologies; however, research has found a lack of implementation of BST across human service settings due to a shortage of organizational time and resources. The purpose of the present study was first to…

Erath, Tyler G.; DiGennaro Reed, Florence D.; Blackman, Abigail L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
The current study evaluated the efficacy of a video-based training to teach 4 staff working in a human service setting to use behavioral skills training (BST) to teach job-related skills to others. Low levels of BST integrity were observed during baseline. Immediately after viewing a 13-min training video, 2 participants implemented BST at mastery…

Weldy, Christina R.; Rapp, John T.; Capocasa, Kelli – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
We trained 9 behavioral staff members to conduct 2 brief preference assessments using 30-min video presentations that contained instructions and modeling. After training, we evaluated each staff member's implementation of the assessments in situ. Results indicated that 1 or 2 training sessions for each method were sufficient for teaching each…

Travis, Robert; Sturmey, Peter – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
Although delusional statements in people with intellectual disabilities and traumatic brain injury can be treated using behavioral interventions, none have demonstrated long-term treatment effects. In the current study, a functional analysis demonstrated that delusional statements were maintained by attention. Differential reinforcement of…

Parsons, Marsha B.; Reid, Dennis H. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1995
This study evaluated procedures used to train 10 supervisors in a residential setting to provide feedback for maintaining direct-service staff members' teaching skills with people who have severe disabilities. A combination of classroom-based instruction, on-the-job observation, and feedback that targeted supervisors' feedback skills was found to…

Shore, Bridget A.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1995
A pyramidal training procedure was implemented with staff working with two adults who had developmental disabilities and self-injurious behavior, aggression, and disruption. Little change occurred following inservice training, but improvements in direct care and staff behaviors and decreases in clients' inappropriate behaviors followed a…

Kissel, Robert C.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1983
Staff were taught use of training and self-management skills through a sequence of written instructions, videotaped and live modeling, rehearsal, and videotaped feedback. Results indicated that staff learned to use the training skills appropriately and consistently, applied the skills in the generalization situations, and maintained skills with…

Green, Carolyn W.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1991
A management program was implemented to increase the training activities and decrease nonwork behavior of eight direct-care staff in a facility for individuals with mental retardation. Improvements were maintained during a 43-week period, staff acceptability measures were positive, and beneficial changes occurred in clients. (JDD)

Parsons, Marsha B.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
A brief inservice program followed by supervisory prompts and feedback provided to 39 education staff in 21 classrooms serving 152 severely handicapped students was consistently accompanied by increased student involvement in functional educational tasks. Improved services continued throughout a two-year follow-up period. (Author/JW)

Richman, Gina S.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1988
Ten staff members of residential facilities for individuals with mental retardation were trained in self-monitoring procedures, to increase staff on-task behavior and adherence to scheduled activities. Increases in both on-schedule and on-task behavior resulted, and generalization to evening hours occurred. Supervisor feedback was subsequently…
