Summary and Important Information
The article explains the benefits of providing online behavioral skills training services to clients. Behavioral skills training is normally done in person; however, it also exposes the technicians to contagious infections and behavioral concerns like aggression. The article mentions studies like Holster, 2019 and Maier et al, 1994 that document aggression from clients leads to staff injuries. Some of the contagious diseases like Corona Virus, Tuberculosis and Atzeman can be prevented by moving to virtual behavioral skills training. The authors explain that virtual training across other healthcare professions have proven effective like surgical performance training and nursing. Studies like Vanselow and Hanley 2014 have illustrated the effectiveness of BST virtual trainings. During the studies there was not direct contact, and all sessions were provided in a virtual environment. The authors tested the effectiveness of virtual training with thirteen female college participants. For the study, a recreation of a clinic for children with Autism was virtually built and try to captivate the same physical environment virtually. The children with Autism responded positively, when presented with the virtual clinic and an avatar of the trainer. The data indicated the children responded to study, as if they were receiving in person sessions. Based on the data results the authors recommend virtual trainings because they are safer and more effective.

Questions
Will there be additional required training for providers (RBT’s, BCBAs) who want to move away from in person to virtual services?
The steps are being taken to service children that do not own a device or have internet to receive services? Application and Reason Selected
During the closure of school campuses, the world moved away from in person to virtual instruction. I am a school teacher, many of our students did not have internet or a device to attend virtual lessons. All the school stakeholders worked together to get every student online access and a device to receive instruction. Virtual trainings and school instruction are an excellent way to deliver services and classroom instruction. The downfall of virtual training is that many of children do not have a device nor internet access. The data reported from the article is positive and a way to protect staff from infectious diseases and potentially physically harmful interactions. A different article by Tyler Erath, “Training Human Service Staff to Implement Behavioral Skills Training Using a Video‐based Intervention”, explains that teaching virtual BST
may result in low levels of integrity but included high levels of acceptability. The article by C.J. Clay goes into further detail to explain the benefits of virtual BST training, such as potential infectious diseases and aggressive behavior. As a future BCBA I want to deliver effective trainings and I believe virtual trainings will also help me reach clients in other parts of the world.
I believe virtual trainings are the future and an excellent tool to protect staff. My concerns are to find a way to provide a device to economically challenged clients and a good online service provider. I believe in equity and being able to deliver quality service to all my future clients.
