<strong>Instruction</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Functional</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> Chapter 5<br />
Typically performance-based tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g is conducted <strong>in</strong> a face-to-face format (e.g., Ryan,<br />
& Ilemmes, & Sturmey, 2004), although there have been efforts to evaluate the potential<br />
of onl<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong>struction with webcams and communication software (Desrochers & DiCesare,<br />
2013). Initially, the learner’s tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g typically occurs with the <strong>in</strong>structor dur<strong>in</strong>g role<br />
play simulations and once a mastery criterion has been met, skill tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g with the learner<br />
work<strong>in</strong>g with the client may occur. Advantages to structured role play are that a wider array<br />
of contextual possibilities (e.g., various client characteristics, functions, sett<strong>in</strong>gs, etc.) can be<br />
presented to enhance the learner’s acquisition and generalization of skills. See the Table 20<br />
below for an example of a performance-based tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g data sheet.<br />
