Macnaul distinguishes synchronous from asynchronous telehealth and reviews instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback. The study's checklist covers pre-session planning, setup, and session delivery, including technology, privacy, and shared appointment goals.
She reports that all seven therapist participants reached 100% coaching fidelity in three sessions and applied their skills with a novel family without additional coaching. Participants included RBTs and therapists working toward the credential; the reported percentage measures therapist checklist performance.
She also discusses unequal opportunities to perform steps across baseline and training, graduate-program recruitment, and the absence of a component analysis.

A question from the original audience
Why did the study include no RBTs with only a high school diploma?
Participants were recruited from a graduate programme. They were already pursuing BCBA certification and either held an RBT credential or were working toward it.
