Hillman, Conrad B.; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Kosel, Molly L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Further research is needed on strategies to improve employment outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We replicated and extended prior research by examining the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of discrete-trial training (DTT) performance of adults with ASD who were interested in careers as behavior technicians.…

Villante, Natalie K.; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Som, Sopia; Hunt, Justin C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Teaching job-related problem-solving skills may increase the likelihood that individuals with developmental disabilities obtain and maintain employment (Kaye et al., 2011; Peck & Kirkbride, 2001; Unger, 2002). In this study, we evaluated the use of electronic-based flowcharts on an iPod Touch as a form of self-instruction to increase problem…

Training of Paraprofessionals by Their Classroom Teachers: A Descriptive Evaluation of Pyramidal Training Outcomes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lerman, Dorothea C.; Luck, Kally M.; Smothermon, Stephanie; Zey, Brittany A.; Custer, Taylor; Smith, Leah D. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2020
Pyramidal training may offer an efficient approach for disseminating behavior analytic teaching practices into public schools serving students with autism. In this study, we evaluated 16 teachers' use of behavioral skills training (BST) while they trained paraprofessionals to use discrete-trial teaching (DTT). All paraprofessionals demonstrated…

Scott, Jelisa; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Luck, Kally – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Training teachers and paraprofessionals to detect and record putative antecedents and consequences of problem behavior in the classroom has a number of potential benefits. In this study, we evaluated the outcomes of a computer-based training program consisting of lectures, models, and practice. A total of 39 teachers and paraprofessionals…
