This study reports on the psychometric properties of this revised scale (ABAIT-R) among 102 special educators assessed using Rasch models. It was found that the model had good fit and a wide spread of difficulties (3.63 to - 2.60). ABAIT-R had good targeting (over 85%) and high reliability (0.79). The assumptions of the model were met recommending sufficiency for the use of summated score from ABAIT-R among teachers.

Increasing intervention fidelity among special education teachers for autism intervention: A pilot study of utilizing a mobile-app-enabled training program / Gloria C. LAW in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 67 (November 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 67 (November 2019) . - p.101411 Titre : Increasing intervention fidelity among special education teachers for autism intervention: A pilot study of utilizing a mobile-app-enabled training program Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Gloria C. LAW, Auteur ; Anuradha DUTT, Auteur ; Maureen NEIHART, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101411 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Fidelity  Mobile app enabled training  Teacher training  Implementation  Evidence based intervention  Naturalistic developmental behavioural intervention (NDBI)  Early childhood special education Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background This study was a follow up pilot study to investigate whether the mobile app Map4speech (Law, Neihart, & Dutt, 2018), originally developed for parent training, could also increase intervention fidelity among preschool special educators. Method A multiple baseline design was conducted with four preschool teachers to examine the effects of the mobile-app-enabled program in improving their intervention fidelity in naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI) for young children with ASD. Results Results indicated that teachers who participated in the post training intervention attained high intervention fidelity of implementation (84–97%) compared to their baseline percentage of intervention fidelity (42–54%). Teachers’ acceptability of mobile-app-enabled training program was moderate, between 60–70%. Results indicated that mobile-app-enabled training can be a promising means to raise teachers’ intervention fidelity in autism intervention. Results also highlighted the usefulness and importance of having an effective andragogical framework in mobile learning design to produce lasting change of intervention behaviors. Conclusions Technology-enabled training has the potential to serve as an innovative solution to the shortage of ASD professional training.
