An Evaluation of Self-Monitoring to Efficiently Teach Compassionate Care Skills to Students of Behavior Analysis

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the evidence-based treatment for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) that has the strongest evidence of positive effects on the ASD population. However, historically, ABA has developed a reputation of limited social validity, with Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) often being cited as robotic and cold (Leaf et al., 2016). Compassionate care skills (defined below, and including skills such as making empathy statements, partnering, and incorporating client priorities) have long been embedded into medical practice, but the research regarding their training and use in the ABA field is limited. Previous literature demonstrated that Behavioral Skills Training (BST) was effective in increasing compassionate care skills, though the length of training required may not be feasible for use on a broader scale. The current study used a multiple baseline across behaviors design to evaluate the effects of a self-monitoring intervention on compassionate care skills. Results indicated that training of these skills using self-monitoring took less than 50% of the time taken with BST (Rohrer & Weiss, 2022), and that the intervention improved compassionate care skill demonstration among three students enrolled in a Masters in ABA program. A social validity survey also indicated that the intervention was useful and practical for participants. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
