Behavior Skills Training
Research regarding training of performance-based skills have found that behavior skills training (BST) is an effective approach. BST generally consists of instructions, modeling, rehearsal/practice, and giving feedback until a person has reached a predetermined level of mastery of the behavior or skill being trained (Parsons et al., 2012).
For this Discussion, you will consider how you could use BST when supervising BCBAs in training and provide an example of such use.
Post
