About

Dr. Andrew M. Markelz is a leading voice in the application of technology to special education and applied behavior analysis (ABA). His research focuses on bridging the gap between in-person service delivery and remote consultation, particularly for students with autism spectrum disorder. Dr. Markelz’s seminal work, "Technology to Facilitate Telehealth in Applied Behavior Analysis" (2020), which has garnered 23 citations, was a critical resource during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing behavior analysts with a practical framework for transitioning center-based ABA therapy to telehealth. He further explored this frontier by investigating teachers’ willingness to use telepresence robots for consultation, a study that has earned 12 citations and highlights the human factors essential for successful technology adoption. By addressing both the technical and social dimensions of remote service delivery, Dr. Markelz has established himself as a key figure in making behavioral interventions more accessible and resilient. His work not only responded to an immediate crisis but also laid the groundwork for a more flexible, technology-integrated future in special education and behavioral health.
