The grant will be used to establish a behavioral aide training program in Poland. The 17 week course will consist of eight modules of online instruction and eight three-hour sessions of hands-on application of behavioral concepts and procedures. Two groups will be trained. Each week, trainees will be introduced to the concepts in one module followed by a session of hands-on application of the concepts. Progression through modules will depend on each trainee’s performance on a post-test. The program’s effectiveness will be measured by administering a program pre-test and post-test. Additionally, data will be taken on trainees’ skills during the hands-on sessions. Components of the program will include such teaching strategies as modeling, shaping, immediate feedback, errorless instruction, study guides, individualized instruction, and positive reinforcement.
