ABSTRACT
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDD) are engaging more with others in virtual group formats for social, educational, and professional reasons. This study extends prior research by evaluating the efficacy of common behavioral interventions, including behavioral skills training, provided via group video conferencing to teach skills that are important when interacting with others in a virtual format. Four adults with NDD were taught to use their cameras and microphones appropriately and to make encouraging statements to one another while discussing current events and social skills-based lessons via Zoom™. Two of the three skills increased and maintained for all participants even after the experimenter faded the contingencies for appropriate responding. The third skill maintained after the experimenter arranged for the response to produce natural consequences. Tests for generalization across group leads and activities yielded promising results. Findings suggest that adults with NDD benefit from group-based telehealth services to improve skills needed to interact successfully with others in a virtual format.
