Summary
Telehealth training effectively taught coaches and interventionists incidental teaching for children with autism. This approach improved implementation fidelity and increased child mands, showing promise for behavior analytic interventions.
Area of Science:
- Behavior analysis
- Autism Spectrum Disorder intervention
- Telehealth applications in therapy
Background:
- Incidental teaching is an evidence-based practice for children with autism.
- Traditional training methods can be resource-intensive.
- Telehealth offers a scalable solution for disseminating behavioral interventions.
Observation:
- A telehealth pyramidal training package was used to train coaches and interventionists in incidental teaching.
- Training involved an online module and videoconferenced feedback.
- Eight adults trained eight children with autism.
Findings:
- Trained coaches and interventionists achieved high fidelity in implementing incidental teaching.
- All child participants demonstrated an increase in mands compared to baseline.
- Performance criteria were met following the telehealth training.
Implications:
- Telehealth is a viable method for training behavior analytic interventions remotely.
- This model can improve access to specialized autism interventions.
- Pyramidal training via telehealth can effectively disseminate evidence-based practices.

02:16Light Acquisition
9.6K
In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

02:34Water and Mineral Acquisition
35.8K
Specialized tissues in plant roots have evolved to capture water, minerals, and some ions from the soil. Roots exhibit a variety of branching patterns that facilitate this process. The outermost root cells have specialized structures called root hairs that increase the root surface, thus increasing soil contact. Water can passively cross into roots, as the concentration of water in the soil is higher than that of the root tissue. Minerals, in contrast, are actively transported into root cells.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
2.1K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

2.5K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

2.6K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

01:22Imprinting
11.2K
Behavioral imprinting is observed in some newborn animals and occurs when they develop strong and specific attachments to another animal (usually a parent) following brief, early-life exposures. Offspring imprint onto parents within a brief period after birth or hatching; this time window is called the critical period. Once imprinting occurs, the bond established between the parents and their offspring is usually long-lasting.
