Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of teleconsultation on knowledge and implementation of self-monitoring interventions with students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a general education classroom setting. Participants were special education teachers employed at a public elementary school in the Capital Region of New York State, who work with at least 1 student with a disability classification of Autism. It was hypothesized that participants’ knowledge of self-monitoring interventions with students with ASD would increase following participation in a virtual in-service training, and that participants would report greater implementation of self-monitoring interventions with their elementary-age students with ASD after receiving virtual follow-up consultation. The study found that participants’ knowledge of self-monitoring interventions with students with ASD increased following their participation in a virtual in-service training. Additionally, participants reported greater implementation of self-monitoring interventions after virtual follow-up consultation.
