Peer-reviewed research on autism care.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of computer-based instruction for training Nigerian professionals to conduct pairwise functional analyses, directly addressing the global shortage of behavior analytic expertise through scalable, evidence-based training methods.

A large-scale interdisciplinary telehealth study with 30 participants evaluating a home-based intervention to reduce reliance on sedation, general anesthesia, and protective stabilization during routine dental exams for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. At baseline, 73% of participants successfully completed a dental exam without sedation despite prior histories of receiving it.

A multi-site comparative effectiveness trial evaluating different functional behavioral assessment methods, providing critical guidance for clinicians choosing between functional analyses and other assessment approaches in applied settings.

A comprehensive book chapter synthesizing the current state of telehealth-delivered behavior analytic family support, including assessment, intervention, and implementation considerations for global applications.

This study used remote behavioral skills training to prepare dental students and professionals to work effectively with patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities, addressing a significant global gap in accessible oral health care.

This study evaluated the effectiveness and cultural acceptability of remote caregiver coaching across three Asian countries, examining how experimenter and interpreter cultural matching affected outcomes in functional analyses and functional communication training.

A multi-site telehealth study evaluating behavioral assessment and treatment outcomes across 199 participants globally. Results demonstrated that behavioral outcomes and parent acceptability were maintained at levels comparable to in-person delivery, supporting the global applicability of telehealth-based ABA services.

This paper addresses the training gap that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, proposing a curriculum framework for preparing behavior analysts to deliver effective, high-quality services through telehealth. The work directly informs how professionals are trained in the ABA World network.

An interdisciplinary study bringing together dentistry, medicine, and behavior analysis to address oral health disparities in adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, reducing reliance on sedation and general anesthesia through behavioral intervention.

A multi-site investigation of how functional communication training impacts broader family dynamics beyond the targeted behaviors, examining generalized and indirect effects reported by parents.

A comprehensive examination of the practical and methodological challenges of delivering behavior analytic services remotely, with evidence-based solutions drawn from years of international telehealth work. This paper has become a foundational reference for the field.

The foundational study demonstrating that functional analyses and functional communication training can be taught to parents via telehealth across eight countries, using interpreters as needed. Results confirmed both effectiveness and high caregiver acceptability, establishing the scientific basis for ABA World's global model.

This study investigated whether functional communication training effects obtained under combined conditions transfer to isolated conditions for children whose problem behavior is maintained by multiple functions. Findings have important clinical implications for treating complex behavioral presentations.

This study examined the separate and combined effects of response interruption and redirection with contingent toy removal in reducing vocal stereotypy in children with autism, with important implications for efficient intervention in classroom and clinical settings.

This study evaluated instructional strategies using pictures to promote sight-word reading in children with developmental disabilities, examining methods to reduce picture overshadowing effects during reading acquisition.

This study evaluated noncontingent reinforcement and time-out procedures for reducing aggression in individuals whose behavior was evoked by specific auditory stimuli, contributing to the literature on addressing sensory-triggered problem behavior.
