Abstract

The number of BACB-accredited distance education programs is increasing, potentially bringing remote supervision into greater demand. Videoconferencing programs like Skype™ represent one avenue for remote supervision. The current study compares the effects of covert observations, in vivo observations, and observations using the Skype™ program on treatment integrity in three therapists working with children diagnosed with autism. The results show that the level of treatment integrity is comparable in both the in vivo and Skype™ conditions, both of which are superior to the covert observation condition.
