When you hear the term “BST model,” what comes to mind? Typically, we think of staff training or social skills, but in ABA, we can use the BST model for so much more. Here, we cover the various applications of behavioral skills training in more detail. The more you can practice a scenario in a calm, relaxed environment, the better prepared you are to handle it when it comes up in real life.
What is Behavioral Skills Training?
There are four distinct parts of the BST model: instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback. We sometimes forget how valuable practice is, so we spend time talking about the importance of rehearsal. We also cover how to incorporate reinforcement and feedback and provide some real-world examples of BST in action.
