The current study evaluated the effectiveness of a self-instructional package to teach individuals to evaluate the treatment integrity (the degree to which intervention is implemented as planned) of discrete-trials teaching (DTT) sessions using the Discrete-Trials Teaching Evaluation Form (DTTEF). Participants were six staff from the St.Amant autism programs. We used a modified multiple-baseline design across a pair of participants, and replicated across two more pairs. At Baseline, a participant reviewed the 20-item DTTEF and a onepage summary of how to use it; they then attempted to assess the accuracy of DTT applied by a confederate role-playing an instructor teaching three tasks to a confederate role-playing a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). During training, participants studied a self-instructional package for using the DTTEF. At Post-training, participants were reassessed on the same tasks as during Baseline. During Generalization, participants were assessed evaluating the treatment integrity of three videos of an autism tutor administering DTT to a child with ASD. During a seven-month Follow-up, four participants were available and were reassessed. Training time averaged 1 hour and 16 minutes and mean accuracy increased from 47.6% in Baseline to 84.7% at Post-training. All participants showed excellent generalization results, and three of the four participants during Follow-up performed at a high level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
