Discussion: Behavior Skills Training
Research regarding training of performance-based skills have found that behavior skills training (BST) is an effective approach. BST generally consists of instructions, modeling, rehearsal/practice, and giving feedback until a person has reached a predetermined level of mastery of the behavior or skill being trained (Parsons, Rollyson, & Reid, 2012).
For this Discussion, you consider how you could use BST when supervising BCBAs in training and provide an example of such use.

- Review the Learning Resources for this week and consider potential uses for behavior skills training when supervising BCBAs in training. Note: It is mandatory for you to review the media for this week prior to completing this Discussion.
- Review the interactive media in the Learning Resources, “Four Steps of Behavior Skills Training.”
Post an explanation of what BST is and how it can be used in supervising BCBAs in training. Include an example of supervisee behavior amenable to BST.
I am attaching all the needed required readings that need to be used for this discussion, if you want to use any extra scholarly resources feel free to use them however please make sure to cite it APA7.
I am also attaching the audio and the transcript for the required media as well.
Thanks!

Answer preview
Behavioral skill training (BST) is a set of skills used by caregivers, parents, or anyone who works with learners to help with performance and competency in a particular set of skills. BST consists of four main parts that apply to any training, including instructions, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback. They help guide one through the process and help the caregiver to know if the instructions have been followed. Doing new things is hard, and so any trainer must give instructions to the new learners, which they must follow throughout the process (Parsons, Rollyson, & Reid, 2012). For instance, when teaching caregivers how to run a specific program, the trainer must give them instructions to follow, using one of the caregivers to demonstrate the step. Then The trainer and the caregivers must rehearse the program before implementing it. After the implementation, the caregivers must provide feedback about the program.
