245 _aA Preliminary Investigation of a Model for Training Public School Practitioners in Positive Behavioral Technologies for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorder
520 _aStudents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often display serious problem behavior that hinders educational and social progress. Educators in public schools are often untrained in the use of intensive evidence-based positive behavior technologies. This study describes the preliminary investigation of a coaching and consulting model for increasing staff’s ability within U.S. public schools to effectively reduce problem behavior in students with ASD. Public school practitioners who were enrolled in the Customized Behavior Application Training (CBAT) program during the 2020–2021 academic school year completed a survey regarding the social validity of the CBAT model and its impact on problem behavior in students with ASD. Initial findings indicate positive receptivity of CBAT as a useful training for helping school staff more confidently and independently address problem behavior in students with ASD in classroom settings.
