Abstract:

Providing consultation from a distance is becoming increasingly more popular, because it allows for expert consultation even if those needing consultation live far from the consultant. This applies to individuals living in rural areas as well as in urban centers, where traffic congestion can make travel to the consultation site just as problematic as driving to rural areas. Teleconsultation is a method of providing consultation using distance technology. In states where behavior analysts are in short supply but demand for their services is great, teleconsultation can be one solution to the problem. In this tutorial, the ins and outs of setting up a consultation model will be provided. Dr. Peterson will share some of the things she has learned (the good, the bad, and the ugly) during the past year and a half of starting up a new teleconsultation service in Michigan, with a goal of helping participants be prepared for the hurdles that will be encountered.

Instruction Level: Basic
Target Audience:

BCBAs; BCaBAs

Learning Objectives: 1.  Define the tele consultation and how it can be used in behavioral consulting. 2.  Identify some of the problems and dilemmas tele consultation can give rise to, as well as potential solutions. 3.  Identify HIPAA-related concerns and solutions in tele consultation.
