农村或偏远地区的家庭对自闭症儿童进行循证干预的机会有限。本研究采用网络培训和远程医疗技术，探讨了培训七位自闭症儿童家长实施应用行为分析（阿坝）策略的可行性。在这项探索性形成性评估中，家长对阿坝策略和概念的了解平均提高了39个百分点，对阿坝策略的实施平均提高了41个百分点。这四个家庭总共节省了9,052英里的驾驶里程。生活在偏远地区的家庭，培训计划的改进，以及未来的研究方向的影响进行了讨论。
Families in rural or remote areas have limited access to evidence-based intervention for their children with autism. Using web-based training and telemedicine technology, the current study investigated the feasibility of training seven parents to implement Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) strategies with their children with autism. In this exploratory formative evaluation, parents increased their knowledge of ABA strategies and concepts by an average of 39 percentage points, and improved their implementation of ABA strategies with their children by an average of 41 percentage points. A total of 9,052 driving miles were saved across the four families. Implications for families living in remote areas, improvements in the training program, and future research directions are discussed.
