Abstract

The PEAK protocol has gained great prominence in teaching children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental delays. Two of the four components of the protocol have already been translated into Portuguese, but the use of this protocol is still not widespread in Brazil. One way to spread the PEAK application is by training people with online teaching resources. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an electronic manual with strategies adapted from Behavioral Skills Training (BST) in teaching the application of the Pre Assessment (Pre Assessment) of the PEAK-DT Protocol (PEAK-DT-PA) for professionals who work with individuals with ASD. Three therapists participated in the study. The design consisted of a multiple baseline among participants with measures of completeness of pre- and post-intervention online BST treatment delivery. During the baseline, although all participants showed reasonable levels of proficiency in the application, the intervention allowed a leap in precision, reaching proficiency during the use of the instrument.
