“…Although we did not explicitly code whether studies conducted functional analyses via telehealth, a full‐text review identified the inclusion of the term “telehealth” in 30 (9.2%) of all studies included. Telehealth applications of functional analyses have been conducted in homes in the United States (e.g., Benson et al, 2018; Davis et al, 2022), schools in the United States (e.g., Bloomfield et al, 2020), and internationally (Sivaraman & Fahmie, 2020). Results of these studies suggest that telehealth is a feasible modality to improve the reach of functional analysis services and research, albeit with variable implementer integrity (Bloomfield et al, 2020).…”

Extensive reviews of functional analysis literature were conducted 10 (Beavers et al., 2013) and 20 (Hanley et al., 2003) years ago; we expanded this review to capture the vast and innovative functional analysis research that has occurred over the past decade. Our review produced 1,333 functional analysis outcomes from 326 studies on the functional analysis of problem behavior between June 2012 and May 2022. Some characteristics of functional analysis studies were similar across the current and previous two reviews (e.g., child participants, developmental disability diagnosis, use of line graphs depicting session means, differentiated response outcomes). Other characteristics deviated from the previous two reviews (e.g., increase in autistic representation, outpatient settings, use of supplementary assessments, the inclusion of tangible conditions, and multiple function outcomes; decrease in session durations). We update previously reported participant and methodological characteristics, summarize outcomes, comment on recent trends, and propose future directions in the functional analysis literature.

“…In the exploratory study by Bloomfield et al (2020), the remote delivery of a comprehensive functional analysis (FA) training package through telehealth to paraprofessionals and teachers in remote and underserved areas was assessed and the nature of implementer error through rate of omission and commission errors within and across FA conditions was examined. Three FAs were then conducted and information regarding procedural integrity, acceptability and rates of omission and commission errors during each FA condition was analysed.…”

Purpose Telepresence robots (TPRs) are an emerging field of application and research that have received attention from various disciplines, including computer science, telehealth and education. The purpose of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of publications on TPR in the Web of Science database from 1980 to 2022 to gain a better understanding of the state of research on TPRs and explore the role of pedagogical and psychological aspects in this research. Design/methodology/approach The analysis of research publications on TPRs was made on the basis of papers published in the Web of Science database from 1980 to 2022. The following research questions were proposed: What are the main tendencies in publication years, document types, countries of origin, source titles, publication authors, affiliations of authors and the most cited articles related to TPRs? What are the main topics discussed in the publications from the perspective of psychology? What are the main topics discussed in the publications from the perspective of educational sciences? Findings The results indicate that it is in the computer science where most of the existing research has been conducted, whereas the interest in the psychology and educational science has been relatively low. The greatest regional contributor has been the USA, whereas the effort in the European Union lags behind. Research publications in psychology in the Web of Science database related to TPRs can be grouped into three broad thematic categories: features of TPRs, degree of social presence compared to physical presence or other mediated technologies and opportunities for using TPRs. The results suggest that from the perspective of psychology, TPRs are one of the approaches that could enable greater social presence in remote communication. Most of the analysed papers in educational sciences investigated the opportunities of using TPRs in various educational fields. However, while the findings of the studies indicated significant potential of TPRs for education, their acceptance for wider use is still challenged. Research limitations/implications The limitations of this research are that this study only analysed research papers in the Web of Science database and therefore only covers a limited number of scientific papers published in the field of psychology and educational sciences on TPRs. In addition, only publications with the term “telepresence robots” in the topic area of the Web of Science database were analysed. Therefore, several relevant studies are not discussed in this paper that are not reflected in the Web of Science database or were related to other keywords. Originality/value The field of TPRs has not been explored using a bibliographic analysis of publications in the Web of Science database from the perspective of psychology and educational sciences. The findings of this paper will help researchers and academic staff better understand the state of research on TPRs and the pedagogical and psychological aspects addressed in this research.

“…Second, all telehealth FAs have used either a clinic‐to‐clinic, clinic‐to‐home, or a clinic‐to‐school format (e.g., Bloomfield, et al., 2020), where in the behavior analyst coach the caregiver from a clinic (Schieltz & Wacker, 2020). On the surface these extensions may seem exhaustive; however, recently the coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) pandemic, altered the way in which FAs could be conducted, especially with stay‐at‐home orders.…”

Conducting efficient and accurate assessments prior to developing a treatment to eliminate problem behavior is necessary. When surveyed, most clinicians report functional analyses (FAs) to be the most informative in determining the function of problem behaviors when compared to descriptive and indirect methods. However, they also report not conducting FAs as a standard practice. Several barriers are reported, such as lack of time and lack of space. Most FA are designed to be conducted in‐person; however, some have utilized a telehealth service delivery model to conduct such assessments. The current study sought to extend the current telehealth FA literature and address the two most reported barriers by using a video conferencing with caregivers as the primary therapists to determine the function of problem behavior. The function of problem behavior was determined across both participants. Benefits, barriers, and future direction of utilizing such an approach are discussed.
