| Abstract: Conducting efficient and accurate assessments prior to developing treatment to eliminate problem behavior is necessary. Most functional analyses (FA) are designed to be conducted in-person; however, some have utilized telehealth service delivery (TSD) model to conduct such assessments. Most TSD FA have been conducted utilizing a clinic-to-clinic video conferencing approach. Situations like the stay at home-order during a pandemic, make clinic-to-clinic video conferencing approach not possible. The current study sought to extended the current TSD FA literature by using a video conferencing home-to-home approach to determine the function of problem behavior. A TSD FA was conducted, in which sessions were conducted by a caregiver with video conferencing between the caregiver and behavior analyst in a home-to-home context. The function of problem behavior was determined across both participants. Benefits, barriers, and future direction of utilizing such an approach are discussed. |
