Training people interested in implementing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) interventions to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is important to promote skill gains. A recommended training package is called behavioral skills training (BST), which involves four components (didactic instruction, modeling, role play, and performance feedback). Background/Objectives: The purpose was to assess the effects of BST on the accurate teaching of multiple repertoires via DTT by six Psychology university students to a confederate and six children diagnosed with ASD. Generalization and maintenance assessments were conducted. Results: Through the research conditions, all university participants were able to teach ten different repertoires with high integrity level to the children. In addition, across four months after training, all participants maintained high teaching integrity levels while teaching skills to the children related to their individualized curriculum goals. Each child accumulated over 1000 correct responses across several sessions. The university participants rated their training with the highest possible score in a social validity assessment. Conclusions: BST successfully trained Psychology university students to accurately teach multiple skills via DTT to children with ASD and involved long lasting effects. Limitations and new avenues for research were discussed.
