父母在自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童症状的治疗中发挥着重要作用;因此，制定有效，高效，社会可接受和可访问的程序来培训父母实施应用行为分析（阿坝）干预措施至关重要。一种潜在的方法涉及通过互联网上的虚拟专用网络（VPN）提供培训（Fisher等人，2014）。在这项研究中，我们进行了一项随机临床试验，以评估一个虚拟的父母培训计划，通过VPN的电子学习模块和脚本角色扮演。我们评估了家长实施阿坝技能使用直接观察措施，在结构化的工作和发挥为基础的培训环境。治疗组的父母在所有依赖性指标上都表现出了巨大的、统计学上的显著改善;而等待名单控制组的父母则没有。家长们认为这种培训在社会上是很容易接受的。结果添加到越来越多的文献的有效性和可接受性，在阿坝的虚拟交付的培训。
Parents play an important role in the treatment of their children's symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD); thus, developing effective, efficient, socially acceptable, and accessible procedures for training parents to implement applied-behavior-analysis (ABA) interventions is critically important. One potential approach involves delivering training via a virtual private network (VPN) over the internet (Fisher et al., 2014). In this study, we conducted a randomized clinical trial to evaluate a virtual parent-training program with e-learning modules and scripted role-play via a VPN. We evaluated parent implementation of ABA skills using direct-observation measures in structured-work and play-based training contexts. Parents in the treatment group showed large, statistically significant improvements on all dependent measures; those in the waitlist-control group did not. Parents rated the training as highly socially acceptable. Results add to the growing literature on the efficacy and acceptability of virtually delivered training in ABA.
