Abstract: Efficient, low-cost approaches for disseminating evidence-based training on behavior-analytic interventions to professionals outside of North America are needed to address the scarcity of available services. This study evaluated the effectiveness and acceptability of computer-based instruction for training professionals in Nigeria to conduct pairwise functional analyses of challenging behavior. Six professionals demonstrated high levels of procedural fidelity during role-play and in situ sessions with children after completing a self-paced computer-based instruction program that provided multiple opportunities for active responding and included culturally relevant content. Results extend prior research on virtual training of functional analysis implementation by incorporating a broader range of dependent variables (e.g., graphing, data interpretation) and delivering a fully asynchronous program. Results have implications for the further development of technologies to scale up the reach of behavior analysis services. Issues related to ensuring that asynchronous programs are delivered in an ethically responsible manner are discussed.
