We evaluated the efficacy of a video training package- and when needed, “bug-in-ear” (BIE) prompting and feedback- to teach parents backward chaining. Two parent-child dyads participated, and sessions took place via telehealth. Parents demonstrated backward chaining while teaching their children shoe tying. Child participants had an autism diagnosis and received applied behavior analysis (ABA) services. Data were collected on percentage of steps correct from the parents and percentage of independent shoe tying steps from the children. Results indicated the video training was effective for one parent participant to reach mastery criteria. The other parent participant met mastery criteria during the BIE prompting plus feedback condition. Percentage of independent steps increased for both children. Factors that may have contributed to participant performance and considerations for future research are discussed.
