Sumario:This systematic literature review examines the effectiveness of online training approaches for behavior analytic practices and assessments. As the prevalence of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) rises, it is important to ensure that practitioners are equipped with effective training methodologies. This review synthesizes findings from 29 studies, focusing on various online training methods, including self‐instructional manuals, video modeling, computerized training, and videoconferencing. The results indicate that these training modalities are generally effective in improving trainee skill acquisition and procedural fidelity. However, the review identifies gaps in the literature related to training methodologies, social validity, and reliability, highlighting the need for further research in these areas. By addressing these gaps, the review aims to provide insights that can inform future research and training practices, thereby improving the overall quality of ABA services provided by practitioners to meet the diverse needs of the populations they serve.
