Abstract | In the current study we used telehealth to train six educators from three rural schools to conduct multiple stimulus without replacement (MSWO) preference assessments. Three of the educators were subsequently trained to implement functional analysis (FA) of problem behavior. Behavioral skills training (BST) was used to teach each educator to conduct the assessment procedures with an adult confederate. After mastering the procedures in the training context, each participant implemented the MSWO and FA with a student diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in their school who was referred for the assessment and treatment of problem behavior. Results indicated that BST delivered via telehealth was an effective way to train educators to implement these two behavior-analytic assessment procedures. Each student's MSWO identified preferred items and each FA indicated a social function of the problem behavior. We validated the results of these assessment procedures by coaching the educators to implement a functional communication training (FCT) program with their student. With FCT in place, the educators reduced their student's problem behaviors by an average of 90.6%. Each educator rated the telehealth procedures for learning the MSWO, FA, and FCT as highly acceptable. These data provide guidance for practitioners and researchers using telehealth to train others to implement behavior-analytic assessment and treatment procedures for students diagnosed with ASD in rural settings.
